Review

Rolling Stone (p.66) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "With assistance from former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, who doodles Beatlesesque solos and provides evocative retro production, Duffy makes a case for herself as Amy Winehouse's better-behaved sister."
Rolling Stone (p.92) - Ranked #30 in Rolling Stone's 50 Best Albums Of 2008 -- "[T]he best LP to emerge from the U.K.'s R&B renaissance this year."
Spin (p.48) - Ranked #24 in Spin's "40 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[T]he frankness of her delivery makes the results anything but studied."
Entertainment Weekly (p.121) - "[W]hen Duffy slows the tempo for 'Rockferry' and 'Hanging On Too Long,' her voice stretches to spectacular heights." -- Grade: A-
Uncut (p.84) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "The title track is a great calling card, where she starts low and husky before suddenly leaping a whole octave to belt out the second chorus."
Q (Magazine) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Kicking off with the terrific, yearning title track, it' an album that openly borrows from the past, chiming perfectly with the modish demand for retro-soul."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.102) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]er daydreaming does produce some great stuff....Notable are 'Warwick Avenue' and 'Stepping Stone'; both are head-against-the-bus-window-tracing-the-raindrops melancholia..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.66) - Ranked #31 in Mojo's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2008" -- "[M]usic of lasting quality..."

Title Note

Personnel: Duffy (vocals).

Recording information: West Heath Studios.

On her 2008 debut, ROCKFERRY, Welsh pop/soul singer Duffy (born Aimee Ann Duffy) presents a charming, retro-leaning set of songs that bring to mind a 21st century Dusty Springfield. Mentored by ex-Suede guitarist Bernard Butler, who produced much of the album and contributes instrumentation on most tracks, Duffy wisely allows her warm, cat-like voice to get comfortable in a variety of settings, from the twangy, Lee Hazlewood-like title track to the dreamy "Warwick Avenue," and then the lively, Motown-tinged "Mercy." Garnering some expected comparisons to Amy Winehouse, Duffy carefully avoids that performer's brand of over-the-top drama, preferring to travel down a quieter and undeniably beautiful back road.

5 out of 5 stars Rockferry is hot right now!, May 7, 2008
By James
Duffy has a magnificent voice. Its her genes/roots (and tons of hard work Im sure)...The Welsh keep churning out great vocalists. Historically, they were miners and sung deep down in the Welsh mountains and mines, all they had was singing... Duffy is here to stay, shes got great talent.
