After a slew of spiky guitar bands British tastes seem to be turning towards Torch Singers; First the was Amy Winehouse and now Duffy and Adele.Duffy - Warwick Avenue In August 2004, Duffy came to the attention of Rough Trade’s Jeannette Lee who became both her manager and her mentor. Just as Vicki Wickham guided Dusty Springfield to the best musical collaborations of the day, or Jerry Wexler and Ahmet Ertegun helped Aretha find her true voice in the Muscle Shoals Memphis studio, Rough Trade pointed Duffy in the direction of Bernard Butler in London’s Crouch End.The fruit of their very first musical session is ‘Rockferry’ which set the tone and musical direction of the album. Duffy spent the next couple years honing and developing her songwriting skills all the while discovering hidden musical gems that inspired her.The results will be unveiled with her forthcoming album next year but you can get a sneak preview of her talent from the link below. Duffy says “There’s a side of me that’s trying to hold it together but then there’s a side of me that just wants to scream, run out onstage and say ‘I’m here!'”.Another 5 tunes and interview here;http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/musicclub/event_duffy.shtml
