    • What Do We Think About…Duffy’s “Mercy”

      Written by The IPS in New Music & Reviews, Videos on Apr 14, 08


      Now, I heard about this months ago (the original UK version video as well) through my 9-5 but I want to see what the average person is thinking. Duffy is OBVIOUSLY going to be compared to Amy Winehouse here, what with the obvious “old-school” sounding sample (in this case “Stand By Me”), her producer being a similar kind of personality as Mark Ronson, white lady singing soul, etc. She’s 23 and Welsh and this song shot to the top of the charts across the pond, which lead them to trying to crack her here. She performed at SXSW and will also be releasing an album May 13th in the States.

      What do ya’ll think? What do we think about Duffy’s vocals and her possibly trying to crack America?

      For more info on Duffy, check out her Myspace here.

      Let me know your thoughts! You know I try to bring you something different.

        im diggin this girl. her voice sounds real good on the song. im downloadin this to da ipod. i see y they mite compare her to amy i jus hope she dnt end up lik her.

      2. April 15, 2008 LivvinJapan

        To be honest I’m not really feeling her vocals but the song itself is cool. Sounds like old school Aretha.

      3. April 15, 2008 stephizzle

        I’m glad she’s gettin some recognition from you folks across the pond. The UK have been doing it big recently.
        We have another artist who goes by the name of Adele. She’s been tipped as being the ‘New Amy Winehouse’. Check out her song ‘Chasing Pavements’

        LOL i sound like some sort of promoter..but i gotta rep my country mayan.

      4. April 15, 2008 twizzle

        She’s singing her ass off . . . Mark Ronson is a genius. In this day and age, a voice with that much soul is going to be a bit over the heads of the average American. I see her making money hand over fist licensing this song in some sort of commercial fashion—I could easily see this in a Chrysler commercial. But it’s just too sophisticated for the States. And while Amy definitely had a huge impact over here, I don’t see lightning striking twice. I mean, it took a song about Rehab for us to pay her any mind (we completely ignored her first single, if I’m not mistaken).

        I, for one, will be picking up Duffy’s album when it’s released. That’s not saying much for Duffy, though, in terms of her chances of success over here. I also own every album released my Me’shell N’degeocello and Lewis Taylor—two of the most underappreciated musicicians of our time. I hope she proves me wrong . . . she’s definitely talented.

        uhm, its not neccessarily soulful to me…
        its more like yoddling to me…
        thats just me…
        it might just be this particular track
        she seems like she’s got some talent though…
        but im glad to see tha UK actually holding
        real music down these days…
        boomrangin’ it back to tha US :D

      6. April 15, 2008 Whateva

        I’m cool with Joss Stone, alright with Amy but this chick I.DO.NOT.WANT. She sounds like a muppet to me.

      7. April 16, 2008 cece

        I think duffy is cool but I like Adele better

      8. April 16, 2008 The IPS

        @twizzle, what you know about some Lewis Taylor!!!!!!!!!

        “Stoned” is almost a classic!

      9. April 16, 2008 Dig That

        I’m with you Whateva….DO NOT WANT. To compare this chick to Amy is an insult to Amy in my opinion.

      10. April 16, 2008 The IPS

        For the record I PERSONALLY didn’t compare her to Amy LOL. I said that inevitably she would be compared here in the US.

      11. April 19, 2008 Vaughn

        Eh, I’m really not feeling her. I only have so much room/tolerance/patience for “white lady/boy soul singers”. I’m sure the thirty-something white ladies will eat this shit up, though. “Her voice is so… unique!”
