Quentin Tarantino has received a songwriting credit on Paolo Nutini’s new album.

The iconic Hollywood director answered the ‘New Shoes’ hitmaker’s request to sample a passage from his 1993 romantic crime classic ‘True Romance’ on the opening track ‘Afterneath’ on the 35-year-old singer-songwriter’s comeback album, ‘Last Night in the Bittersweet’.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: โ€œPaolo is a big film fan and the section used in the song really resonated with him. Quentin never usually signs off on stuff like this but Paolo sent him the track and it turned out that he loved it and he gave the go-ahead.

โ€œPaolo likes to make all of his music himself, but to have Tarantinoโ€™s name credited on your track is pretty cool.โ€

Film fanatic Paolos 2014 track ‘Iron Sky’ featured Charlie Chaplin’s famous speech from 1940’s ‘The Great Dictator’.

The Scottish star’s first album since 2014’s ‘Caustic Love’ was released on July 1.

Meanwhile, Nancy Sinatra recently revealed she credits Tarantino with giving her a โ€œnew startโ€ by using one of her songs in his movie โ€˜Kill Billโ€™.

The 81-year-old singerโ€™s version of Cherโ€™s track โ€˜Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)โ€™ was used in a famous scene in the directorโ€™s 2003 film โ€˜Kill Bill: Volume 1โ€™, and Nancy says it introduced her music to a whole new audience.

She said: โ€œThat was a gift, wasnโ€™t it? Quentin, I guess, had wanted to use โ€˜Bang Bangโ€™ for a while and he finally found a way to do it.

โ€œWhy my version, Iโ€™m not sure. I guess it was the guitar, the lonely sound of Billy Strangeโ€™s guitar.โ€ (MusicNews)
