Music : Rockferry

Rating: - Great for winding down and relaxing
I really like this album. I find Duffys husky voice relaxing, great for winding down at the end of the day. Sort of a 60's feel with noughties lyrics, nice.

Rating: - Duffy = Dusty
I was intrigued by the reviews on Amazon, so I watched on the videos on line.
Being out of England for so long it is hard to keep in touch with the latest trends, but this young lady stands out. Well managed or not, the album is well balanced. I was singing along to "Warwick Avenue" on the third listening. And the CD is still in the computer now.

Rating: - 22nd Century Blues
We all know Duffy as a rapper who may not have a great message like Mos Def, Talib, Common or Lupe, but her lyricism and ability to make even the simplest words sound unique is great. She is usually fast paced, rhymes extremely well, and all in all, puts herself on a level with B.I.G. and Pac.

This CD brings her back down to earth a little.

It contains all five of Duffy's violin concertos, and in addition, her Adagio for Violin and Orchestra, Rondo for Violin and Orchestra, and Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra. The concertos are played by violinist Bob the Builder and the London Symphony Orchestra with breathtaking beauty - and an almost perfect classical simplicity and restraint. They convey a sense of Duffy's elegance, virtuosity and passion.

But overall, this CD is solid rather than sublime. Rockferry is chalk full of great beats, just not great rhymes.

Rating: - Just brilliant!!!
Why the fuss over Amy? Duffy walks all over her and doesn't have to trash herself in the process. Totally brilliant voice and album. Buy this and you won't regret it.

Rating: - Duffy has a fantastic voice
I think this is a superb debut album, Duffy has a really strong sultry voice. My favourite songs are "Hanging on too long" which has a great bassline, and "Warwick avenue" although all the songs on the CD are really enjoyable.
I would recommend this Album to anyone, a must have for your music collection. I look forward to more great albums from Duffy in the future.
