| Duffy - Mercy |
 |
Duffy is one of those acts that we've been told
we're going to love this year. Mercy is the second
single from her forthcoming debut album,
Rockferry.
Mercy isn't the first song in recent history to
play on the iconic bassline from Stand By Me. It
starts out that way, but it isn't long before the
hammond organ is tooting away and we're
transported back to Dusty Springfield-era soul.
Duffy's voice lives up to the hype alright - she
carries off the authentic soul sound and displays
a good range at the same time. She avoids making
the song a complete retro anthem by having an
almost rapped vocal line in the middle.
I can't help drawing comparisons to the
once-celebrated Joss Stone and how she was
initially lauded as a big star of that retro soul
scene. Unfortunately, the music industry is trying
to tell us that Duffy's ability to recreate the
60s soul sound is the big thing in music for 2008.
Amy Winehouse pulled off the retro thing with Back
To Black because she had an edge and the backing
of the genius that is Mark Ronson.
Amy and Duffy are two totally different artists :)
Lyrics:
Yeah Yeah Yeah x4
I love you
But i gotta stay true
My morals got me on my knees
I'm begging please stop playing games
I don't know what this is
'Cos you got me good
Just like you knew you would
I don't know what you do
But you do it well
I'm under your spell
Chorus
You got me begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why wont you release me
I said release me
Now you think that i
Will be something on the side
But you got to understand
That i need a man
Who can take my hand yes i do
i dont know what this is
but you got me good
just like you knew you would
i dont know what you do
but you do it well
I'm under your spell
