Rockferry - Duffy

Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy is making quite a name for herself at the moment. Her début album 'Rockferry' has already earned her a Number 1 single in the form of 'Mercy' and she certainly seems to be causing quite a stir in the music press. The Evening Standard commented late last year that 'she will be the sound of 2008' and whilst this may not be entirely true, 2008 will definitely be a good year for her I feel. She's certainly started the year off quite well by gaining herself a Number 1 single, that's for sure. Beginning with title track 'Rockferry', Duffy kicks off the album in tremendous style. It's an excellent launching point for the album, a ...  Read the complete review

Duffy - Rockferry (2008) So, Duffy has been called the best singer to come out of Wales since Tom Jones, the new voice of British Soul, and won a Grammy for this album. 'Right' I thought, better listen to some more of her than just 'Mercy', so off I went to iTunes and listened to a bit of each track, ummed and ahhed and then downloaded the album, I mean, for £7 (alright for those that are pedantic, £6.99), a Grammy winning album, can't be bad eh? She certainly has a distinctive voice, this is the first thing that attracts me to any vocally based act, is it different enough to stand out? Well, yes in this case; Smokey, very 60's, a bit like a ...  Read the complete review

..Introduction.. When I first heard of Duffy was when I heard her debut single Mercy on one of the music channels. I thought the track was quite catchy so I checked her out as I had heard some very good reviews of her debut album Rockferry.

She has a twin sister Katy and was interested in music and singing at an early age and auditioned for the Welsh Answer to Pop Idol Wawffactor on ...  Read the complete review

Album cover ~ Black and white which suits her 'from a different era illusion' a moody sultry pose from Duffy which looks good and not too showy which suits her. The logo of her name is displayed clearly and gives the personal feel of an autographed copy...almost. Tracks ~ Rockferry - This is the title track and is very good to be the first song as it booms in with stong bassy notes, as with all Duffy's songs you can tell there's something personal behind the song and the lyrics describe a place. very bluesy yet rocky too a good beat. Warwick Avenue - Again this seems to have a nice story to it very personal, it has a very ...  Read the complete review
