Duffy

Live in Japan Duffy

It didn’t need much fantasy and courage to predict a glorious

career for Duffy similar to that of Amy Winehouse. The singer, born

in North Wales has not only a remarkable, extremely expressive

voice but also an extraordinary charisma that you can barely take

your eyes off her. The title song of her debut album “Rockferry”

is pure magic. And all of the songs on the album have the same

quality. The 1984 born Aimee Anne Duffy has the support of great

musicians in Tokyos Liquid Room. With her modern retro sound

that always reminds you of the classic girl group sound of the 60s

and artists such as Dusty Springfield she definitely has a sound

grasp of contemporary developments. It doesn’t matter if she plays

ballads such as “Hanging On Too Long” or she sings groovy up tempo songs such as “Mercy” where she literally

sings one’s mind to the heavens. The result is always smashing.
