DUFFY, a strange girl; Mercy was brilliant and I rather liked Warwick Avenue but this new one sounds to me like a remake, slower, of Mercy and there is something in her voice that is very odd. Close your eyes and think of your Grandmother singing and you
Duffy's voice (especially on the earlier singles) reminds me of Carmel, who made some wonderful albums in the late 80s/early 90s... very like her in fact.
Great arrangement and orchestration on the new track but like you my first thought was it was a pastiche of Mercy. Also thought her voice was a bit screechy at times which is something she has a tendency to do.
