 Awesome! July 25, 2008
I love her voice! It's so different. A kid gets a little tired of hearing the same bubble gum pop voices day in and day out. Duffy wakes you up.
 Very Talented July 24, 2008
I must admit I had never heard of Duffy until I saw the album art for Rockferry on the iTunes Store. I thought, "Wow, she looks kinda pretty," and decided to at least listen to some 30-second previews. I guess basing whether I will give an artist a shot based on their looks makes me shallow, but in this case it worked. I could tell instantly that Duffy can sing, and can sing quite well. I purchased the album, and while it's not going to be something I listen to a whole lot, Duffy is a great singer, and I'm sure it will get some playing on my iPod. I usually listen to The Strokes, The White Stripes, Vampire Weekend, and Daft Punk. I think the fact that I don't really like this genre, but I like this album, is impressive. Duff's talent makes this album worth buying, no matter what your usual musical tastes are.
I Put Too Many Songs On Repeat July 22, 2008

I haven't bought a CD in a very long time, and I decided to take a chance and buy Duffy's CD based on the first song released. I usually don't do that because I don't want to get a whole CD and be disappointed because it has only one good song. But after listening to it, I was not disappointed. Duffy has impressed me with her style of singing.
Her music is fresh, and has an old feel that is meaningful that I greatly appreciate. Her voice is powerful, deeply soulful, and sweet but on the verge of being rough. I could tell she sung her heart out on every song.
My favorite song on the whole CD is "Delayed Devotion". I don't know if it will ever catch on with everyone else, but I like singing along to it. It is a fun song to sing with. It's on repeat most of the time in my car. When I want to hear something different, I change it over to the first song, "Rockferry". Yep, that goes on repeat, too, for a while. Then at times "Warwick Avenue" goes on repeat, and of course "Mercy". "I'm Scared" gets repeated, too, aaaloottt. Yep, I got repeat-itis, bad.
I can't speak and say that you will like this CD, too. I think her music is a personal taste, and you have to discover for yourself if it's worth your while. She may be an acquired taste to some. Overall, to me, it is a great CD. I'm glad to have it in my small collection of music.
Thanks.
I Can't Stop July 21, 2008

I bought the CD after hearing just a few seconds off of my sister's MP3 player. Of course the song was her hit "Mercy". Since it has arrived I have been unable to listen to anything else. This woman has such a unique voice and delivery I can't stop listening. She actually does what Amy Winehouse tries to do. She does 60's pop songs (no song is very 4 minutes) with a 21st century voice. Having lived through the 60's, these are songs Lulu, Dusty Springfield or Cilla Black would have sung. The arrangements are in keeping with the arangements of the mid 60's. She's done something quite unique here and I hope to hear more of her in the future. This girl has talent with a capitol T.
A soundtrack for summer July 19, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This CD is a welcome surprise. Was in London six weeks and kept seeing it on the shelves, got home and finally bought it (WEAK DOLLAR). It's now my soundtrack for summer. Duffy sings with depth and the sound reminds me of soul classics from the 60s. Find myself humming along and spirits lifted by the life and energy on the recording. All tracks bring something, but "Warwick Avenue" perfectly captures a moment in time in London. It's good to have an artist to listen to where you don't worry if the next headline will be news of her death (Amy Winehouse). Every track on the CD is memorable and catchy. Smart, smart music...
