Duffy- Mercy

Yesterday I waded through the difficult task of watching some music videos in the morning, and amidst the usual pap was this little gem of a video. I hadn't heard about the singer or the song, but apparently it's been #1 in the UK for 4 weeks running, and deservedly so. It continues the tradition of Northern soul in the UK, and the chick has a serious Brigitte Bardot vibe going on.

Check it out:

I've been rabidly trying to find her single available somewhere, but to no avail. Damn incorrect Aussie release dates!

The album won't be released here in the states until May I believe so I've had to acquire Duffy's songs through other means. lurking

The show tonight was really good. Her voice was fantastic although my first impression was that her vocal style was a bit of a put on and not really true. But that may just be because she sings a little differently than how she speaks (which many singers do). Her backup band (six musicians) did a fine job also.

Setlist:
Rockferry
Warwick Avenue
Hanging On Too Long
Serious
Breaking My Own Heart
Syrup & Honey
Stepping Stone
Delayed Devotion
Tomorrow
Mercy

Encore:
Distant Dreamer

50 minutes

I wish she'd come to Oz! I bought "Mercy" on iTunes now that I finally have the internet at home after moving. I think the album comes out here in April.

The album is awesome. Dare I say it's like listening to Amy Winehouse all over again? I'll definitely buy it for real later on.

That must be rough waiting for American and British artists to make that long trek to Oz.

It is rough to wait for concerts, if the artists even tour here!

I don't particularly care for Amy, so I don't have Back in Black. I'm all primed for Duffy, though!

That's interesting because you're not into classic soul, correct? I know you've said that you dislike Motown.

Yeah, I'm not big on classical soul. Maybe it's the psychedelic element, or the strings, or...something. But "Mercy" grabbed me right away and hasn't let me go!

It can't be because the beat is ripped off of "Stand By Me". lol
