Paolo Nutini backed out of asking Danielle Haim to sing on ‘Acid Eyes’ because he feared rejection
nme.comPaolo Nutini has said that he was too worried to ask Danielle Haim to feature on his new song ‘Acid Eyes‘ in case she rejected the offer.The Scottish singer-songwriter admitted in a new interview that he had the main Haim singer in mind for his latest single but was too “anxious” to ask her.He told The Sun: “I wrote [Acid Eyes] in my living room.
I wanted to try and write a song that maybe Danielle from the Haim girls would sing with me. There’s the two vocals, the high and the low, which I figured was a duet.
Everybody said why don’t I ask them to do it but I thought, ‘What if they say no?’ So I didn’t.”Nutini had previously met Danielle – who is joined by sisters Alana and Este in the trio – when her guitarist and then-boyfriend Blake Mills was invited to work on Paolo’s last album, 2014’s ‘Caustic Love‘.He said: “I met them for the first time when we were making the ‘Caustic Love’ album.
We worked with producer Dave Sardy, who brought in Blake Mills to play guitar. At the time his girlfriend was Danielle Haim and she swung by.”They also partied at Glastonbury in 2014.
