Duffy is releasing her new single "Warwick Avenue" to pop radio this week, so I have decided to repost the song's Download of the Day (it was originally UK only).This song, titled "Warwick Avenue" is absolutely fantastic, almost better than "Mercy", her breakout single. Her voice has a real platform to shine here, sounding hauntingly beautiful in this sad song about her dumping a boyfriend. If anyone had doubts about her voice before, this song dispels them. It also dispels the belief that she's an Amy Winehouse knock-off. Her voice is smoother, lighter than the anguished soul present in Amy's voice. That doesn't mean she can't sing soul; it makes listening just a bit more pleasant.
Lyrically, its a nice song about a girl having enough of her hurtful boyfriend, ready to dump him on Warwick Avenue (I'm assuming its a place in Wales). Its nice to hear a breakup song that isn't overt and confrontational; it shows the mutual anguish of a dying relationship.
"Warwick Avenue" is a fantastic follow-up to "Mercy", and I hope this song propels Duffy to even more US success.
RATING: 8/10
