There are certain gigs which, if they were books, would have pink dust-covers, wavy white titles and be firmly placed in the "Chick Lit" section of Waterstone's.

But who can blame Paulo Nutini if all the ladies love him?

He's as cute as a baby seal and has that Joss Stone-like ability to sound like he's 60 and from the Deep South when he's actually a teenager from deepest, darkest Paisley.

There's no denying the boy's got talent, but it's also hard to ignore the fact that the different sexes will experience Paulo differently.

During his cover of Daydream, for example, a lot of females will see emotion crack his face, while his delicate vocals soar softly to their hearts.

Most blokes, on the other hand, will think he looks like there's a teaspoon of something unpleasant under his nose and sounds like a goose being garrotted.

While he lacks the Hawaiian hip of Jack Johnson, as he's belting out his hit single Last Request there's the indication that, given time and better tunes, Paulo will become far more than a housewives' favourite.

He's already booked for Brighton's Dome on December 2.

Gentlemen, take a sturdy pair of shoes - ladies, a change of underwear.
