Advantages: Excellent soulful pop music, intelligent lyrics and extremely powerful vocals. Disadvantages: Ten tracks is simply not enough to aptly showcase the talent of 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 ...

Advantages: Stunning Vocals / Music with Very Emotional and Heartfelt Lyrics Disadvantages: Probably a bit too short
...played live, those being, Mercy, Rockferry and Stepping Stone, and in between these shows I was very fortunate to have seen her live in Concert, and she was brilliant there too. Then all of a sudden " Mercy " was at number one in the Charts, and everyone wanted to know about Duffy, what a turn around for this Lady, she is only 23 Years old, and this is the start of a whirlwind time for her now I'm sure of that, and well deserved in my opinion.
So, ...

Advantages: great Disadvantages: all songs sound the same
...Stone, I'm Scared, Serious and Rockferry being the name of the album with many more to chose from too.
If you are looking for an album to chill out this it's the album for you, I did not listen to it one song after the other I played it on my ipod on shuffle and I thought all of the songs were great, but as most of the songs are sad and about heartbreak and to me all sound simular I could not listen to the album continually as I prefer a few upbeat ...

Advantages: Music for all modds and occassions Disadvantages: could have been longer
Fantastic album. Should have been longer. Duffy has a wonderful powerful and soulful voice. NIce mixture of tracks, some more upbeat and some more mellow. I am looking forward to her next album, as if this one is anything to go by the next one should also be outstanding.
Her music reminds me of the sixties. She has a very distinct voice.
What I really loved about the album the most I think is it's ability to be flexible. If I have friends over ...

I bought this album after hearing the song 'Mercy'. Its retro stylings were actually quite refreshing to hear and the comparisons to Dusty Springfield justified. This album is great for relaxing to or putting on if enertaining and will easily have you humming along to its other tunes such as the recently released, 'Warwick Avenue'.
This is brilliant it you are looking for something a bit different but current.

Advantages: Brilliant voice Disadvantages: Songs are weak
...since I heard the single Rockferry back at the end of 2007. I have to say I was quite disappointed with it. I found that it did not live up to the hype. There are a couple of tracks that stand out, Rockferry being one, and Warwick Avenue being another.
I find that the rest of the songs are just a little bit warbly.
However Duffy does have an amazing voice, which is shown off beautifully through out the album. I do look forward to hearing more ...

Advantages: Soulful. thoughtful , emotional. Disadvantages: Sometimes a little thin on top notes.
What a voice! Strong, confident and not afraid to take chances. Comparisons are constantly being made with Dusty Springfield but for me only one track, Serious, conjures up her spirit. The sixties are ever present on this album though, with nods to other vocalists with soul such as Arethea Franklin, Martha Reeves and Lulu. It could almost be a Phil Spector wall of sound production.
Mercy with it's awsome backbeat stands out of course but Stepping ...
