Who needs more Amy Winehouse ??

The smoke-filled soul of Amy Winehouse have their first child. In the UK there is already a race under the heading "New Amies": Who is the successor? Leona Lewis and Adele are considered as promising candidates. Now even Duffy comes into play.

Even the voice points the way: Here is gesoult and gebluest a la '60s, so neatly with orchestra in the buttocks and very relaxed grooves.

The retro sound and voice bring her Duffys Winehouse comparisons free of charge. The biggest difference between the two is that Duffy looks much braver than the Femme Fatal. She sings of everyday things, for instance, of how much her life has changed with its move from Wales to London. And sometimes sounding even after Flowerpower. Eben not dangerous and morbid.

In her native Wales Duffy is best known for a talent show, where they took second place. The British major label Rough Trade Records showed Interresse and brought the singer into the studio of the former guitarist of Suede, Bernard Butler. Together they developed there the sound that can be heard today on the debut of Duffy.

More than two years work have gone into the album. In part one hears the sophisticated songs the difficult birth of something. For sounds but the sound as if it were grown naturally, and did not occur in the studio. And that's a big plus.
