Duffy

Duffy - I can’t say that I have been a fan of Duffy. Matter of fact this is the first album that I listened to. But I have to say I really liked her sound. The music spoke to me and caught my ear. Made me want to play the songs over and over again. What a great album.

Rockferry, the Welsh singer’s lovingly constructed debut album, has already succeeded beyond expectations, and although Duffy may not quite be the ingénue portrayed by a clever press campaign (she nearly won a local television talent show a few years back while a single credited to Aimee Duffy is still available on iTunes) she is surely the most appealing of the current flood of young soul sirens. The astonishing title track, co-written by Bernard Butler, sounded like a lost transmission that had taken decades to get through as soon as it hit radio last year. But the gently rolling soul ballad “Stepping Stone”, that strapping, inescapable monster hit “Mercy”, the ice cool “Serious” (the one time she really does channel the spirit of Dusty Springfield) and the wistful, elegant “Warwick Avenue” are similarly effective. Suggestions by some that Rockferry is little more than sixties pastiche are churlish. [more info]
