Paolo Nutini 'Disappointed With US Tour'

Paolo Nutini has just returned back to the UK from a US tour, but he admits it didn't quite go as well as he anticipated.

Although the singer scored a number one album on home turf this year with Sunny Side Up, he's not had the same levels of success in the States.

"It's not been massive. It's been steady." Paolo said. "It's not always easy. The tour has not been on the back of some massive record label campaign."

"The label seem a lot more hesitant to put everything behind this as opposed to the last one." He told The Sun. "The recession perhaps has given them the hesitation."

"The less we spend, the less we owe. But on the other extent the less exposure you have the more difficult it makes getting that hit that fulfills everybody's expectations."

"It's more had to be through doing lots of gigs and hope that people start telling their friends."

Paolo will soon be releasing new single 'Pencil Full Of Lead'
