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 [Duffy Mercy Lyrics & Video on http://songlyricsvideos.com] 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 you'd better release yeah yeah yeah I'm begging you for mercy Yes why wont you release me I'm begging you for mercy You got me begging You got me begging You got me begging Mercy, why wont you release me I'm begging you for mercy Why wont you release me You got me begging you for mercy I'm begging you for mercy I'm begging you for mercy I'm begging you for mercy I'm begging you for mercy Why wont you release me yeah yeah break it down
