Duffy is Fucking Awesome

It would be easy to describe Duffy as Amy Winehouse sans the drug addictions. After all, she's also British (like basically every other female buzz artist these days), and she does have the same retro shtick, but she's actually pretty different from Amy...and she might actually have some drug addictions that I don't know about.

Since it doesn't seem like my girl Wino will be fit to make new music anytime soon (even her hotass producer Mark Ronson said so), I realized it was time to find another faux-sixties singer to hold me over. Needless to say, Duffy is less soulful than Wino (who isn't?), but her take on 60's pop is still awesome.

Here's the most upbeat track on her debut album Rockferry, "Mercy."
