The recent news about Duffy working on new material got me listening to her again. I was a big fan of hers as a kid but I don’t think I actually appreciate how brilliant she was, not just as a singer but as a song writer.

What’s interesting is that her and Adele released their debut albums in 2008. They’re also not miles apart in age. Anyway, Adele has had it all her own way really and it’s rare to find another female musician who has been able to hold a candle to her for the last 15/20 years. Don’t get me wrong, there are many talented singer/songwriters out there… but how many of them actually have something to say. Something that truly speaks to an audience. Even in the small plethora of work Duffy released that shone through.

People talk about MJ vs Prince, The Stones vs The Beetles, Oasis vs Blur.

Had Duffy not experienced what she did all those years ago… and continued to release music maybe we would be having that conversation about her and Adele… or with new music on the way from the Welsh songstress it could be that conversation is around the corner🤷‍♂️

Verdict?
