The curse of the "difficult second album" is such a cliché in music that it's not funny any more. But when your debut album is the fourth best selling album of 2008 worldwide, wins a Grammy award and reaches the Top 10 in 24 different countries (and Top 3 in 19 of those 24), then it's always going to be a hard thing to follow. Sadly, despite all the rave reviews and huge sales that "Rockferry" earned Duffy, the cliché has come home to roost once more. Unusually, the album opens with a crowd noise which at first fools you into thinking it's a live recording. "My Boy" is a jaunty little upbeat tune, with a driving synthesised bass ...  Read the complete review

Aimée Ann Duffy had a dream start to her recording career following the release of her debut album "Rockferry2 in 2008. Timed perfectly to capitalise on the throwback retro sound that had been the hallmark of Amy Winehouse's seminal album "Back to Black", Duffy, who eschewed her other names for performing, was hailed the new Dusty Springfield and promptly notched up a number one single and album. The album finished the year as the UK's best selling album, and subsequently won both a Brit award and a Grammy. Duffy, who was born in 1984 in Gwynedd, has been away from the limelight for over a year, quietly disassociating herself from the musicians ...  Read the complete review

Return of the nation's highest pitched songstress... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Aimée Ann Duffy (known simply to the musical world as 'Duffy') is a Welsh singer / songwriter who received critical acclaim for her Grammy winning 2008 album 'Rockferry'. Duffy has been described as the Marmite of the musical world, due to the fact that her distinctive high-pitched vocals make her a figure who seems to be both loved and hated in equal measure. Personally, I would describe myself as someone who is closer to the disliking end of the scale - although if you take Duffy's voice out of the equation, I've always appreciated the ...  Read the complete review

Duffy released her debut album "Rockferry" in 2008, and now two years later, she returns with "Endlessly", which in interviews she claims to reveal her growth yet retains her musical style and character. I admire her integrity to sticking to what she is known for opposed to complying with modern trends. ~~~ALBUM COVER~~~ The album cover is simple and sweet. Definitely not as stylish as her Rockferry cover, but I like the subdued colours and the graphics. ~~~TRACKLIST~~~ The album contains ten tracks, but is only around 30 minutes in length: 1. My Boy 4/5 The first track on the album is a fun and upbeat ...  Read the complete review

I have always liked Duffy's music, although to me she has always been a 'in the background' kind of artist, unlike Rihanna and Cheryl Cole. I loved her singles 'Rain On Your Parade' and 'Mercy' and so when I heard that she would be a releasing a new album, I couldn't wait to get a copy. Endlessly is the second album from welsh singer Duffy. The album was released in 2010 and is currently available to buy from Amazon for a price of £6.99 which I think is great value for money considering that the album was only released a few weeks ago. ~*Tracklisting*~ 1)My Boy 2)Too Hurt To Dance 3)Keeping My Baby 4)Well Well Well 5)Don't Forsake Me ...  Read the complete review
