Duffy's 'Endlessly' is stylistically schizophrenic
Album cover for "Endlessly" by Duffy.
For "Endlessly" (Universal), Duffy has somehow become even more stylistically schizophrenic than on her debut, "Rockferry."
The first single, "Well, Well, Well," is bouncily close to her Winehouse-ian breakthrough "Mercy." Yeah, yeah, yeah. She even takes giant dance steps toward Kylie-ness with "Lovestruck."
However, Duffy also retreats into '50s torch songs with the aching "Too Hurt to Dance" and the lush title track.
The genre whiplash would be worth it for the right songs, but Duffy often comes up short on the modern end ("Keeping My Baby") and the retro trip ("Breath Away").
