Release Date November 14, 2005
I once saw Stephen Duffy say something along the lines of, and I'll quote loosely, 'By now people must be beginning to realise I'm not doing this for the money any more but just because it's what I do'..
After being dropped by most, if not all, of the major record companies since the mid 1980s Stephen Duffy continues to plough his own path and release albums which should sell millions in an ideal world, but through some quirk of fate no one ever really hears about.
He really is one of the most diverse British artists, you just have to look at his back catalogue: 1980s electronica/pop under the names of TinTin and Dr Calculus MDMA, Nick Drake-esque folk with The Lilac Time, solo records encompassing ... Read More:

Alexis Korner called him his favorite singer and without question, Power was one of the greatest vocalist to come out of the 1960s. After a false start recording trepid covers of American hits of the day, Power discovered the blues and transformed himself into one of its most passionate vocalists. For some reason, much of the material he recorded in the mid-sixties was not considered commercial enough and so it was unreleased in its day. Years later, when his recordings made with the likes of John McLaughlin, Jack Bruce, Danny Thompson and Terry Cox surfaced, it reinforced what many suspected all along-that Power is a major talent who should have been huge.
I have the three previous CD?s issued of Power and they are all worth owning ... Read More:

Duffy truly is 2008's shining star. Of all the new acts that appear each year there is always one that completely captures that hearts of the nation and whose songs dominate the radio with their brilliance. 2008 is without a doubt Duffy's year. With her debut album still riding high in the top 10 of the UK album chart months after its initial release we now get treated to Warwick Avenue, the brilliant second major single from the rcord (third if you count the title track getting its minor release last year).
I think i actually like Warwick Avenue even more than Mercy. Whereas Mercy was a unshamedly get-up-and-dance pop record with an incredibly instant hook, Warwick Avenue retains that same pop sensibility and moulds it around a lush ... Read More:

At last! This truly great album has been re-released. People didn't get it first time round; but the combination of Duffy's outstanding songwriting and composing and Nigel Kennedy's (yes him!) extraordinarily diverse violin accompaniment is pure gold. Experimental in places (covering styles ranging from delicate pizzacato to Indian raga in the adjoining instrumental Transitoires), but never losing sight of melody, this album flows beautifully. And the songs...romantic, but not a cliche in sight, from a songwriter at the very pinnacle of his craft. Recent magazine reviewers of the album (Q, Mojo) have seen the light this time round. Those who bought it in 1993, have had a decade of pleasure. Those intrigued by Duffy's songwriting for Robbie Williams, ... Read More:

I've listened to this drivel - the record and all the hyped-up reviews of Duffy - and finally I've had enough. It's rubbish. 'You got me beggin', you got me beggin', you got me beggin' ad nauseum. Even dance songs can have good lyrics, it has happened. And enough already of these affected warbling or bellowing, sinus-afflicted girls (Adele's another...) I'm not hearing anything great here. And as for the Dusty comparisons, just just insulting to Dusty's versatility and emotional/vocal dynamic range. For god's sake, Duffy is plain Duff.
Release Date October 31, 2000
There's not really much to say here except this is a great timeless record full of songs that you will love to listen to again and again. When you marry great melodies to chrisp production, beautiful arrangements and intelligent, involving lyrics you can't go wrong really. There are more addictive hooks here than one record should legally be allowed to have.
If Robbie has any sense and wants a massive hit record (and frankly he needs one after Rudebox), he should just have a word with Mr Duffy and just cover this album so that these songs get the sort of audience they deserve. :-)
Honestly, buy this and do yourself and your ears and your spirits a favour!
