Duffy is probably the best R&B singer to come from these shores in a long long time. This album is phenomenal. Every track seems to accentuates her vocal range. The musicians supporting her are also very worthy of recognition. I particularly like the unique drum tuning on Mercy and the 60's keyboard playing. The tracks themselves vary but are all interesting: but I doubt that anyone could render them as well as she does. This album is one of the best that I have heard for a long time. A definite buy recommendation.

It's a great debut album. Duffy has the perfect voice for the 60s retro soul she chose for this album. The songs are very good, particularly the lyrics. There is something unspoken and something illicit about the meeting at Warwick avenue. Why do these people meet there? What is the story? We can only guess but the emotions are real. The only drawback for me is that there is only one style of songs on this cd.
Brilliant debut!!!!! June 24, 2008

Now I'll be honest and admit that I normally buy/listen to nothing but rock and punk albums since I was 16 (I'm now 33) but every so often I will come across some pop/soul acts that are brilliant. This is the case with this album.
After hearing Mercy when it reached number one in the charts I wasn't exactly blown away but I thought it was a good record. After hearing Warwick Avenue though I took the plunge and bought the album and I must say it is the best album I have bought so far this year.
If you are looking for an album to chill out to in the summer (with any luck!!!) months then this is the one. Ok so the songs are sad about heartbreak but I downloaded this onto my I-Pod before I went away and was listening to it constantly.
As well as the singles which I am sure you've heard the remainder of the album is excellent my favourite song being 'I'm Scared' which stuck in my head as soon as I heard it and was one of those songs I played over and over again. It's a very sad song but her voice is brilliant. Other highlights are 'Serious' and 'Stepping Stone'.
If you're a fan of stuff like Dusty Springfield and old '60s soul I would heavily recommend.
Hope for more of the same when she releases her next album!!!!

Duffy is definitely refreshing. Great production, Great voice, Standout artist! The songs that do it for me are MERCY, STEPPING STONE (Reminds me of Marvin Gaye) and WARWICK AVENUE. I cannot wait to hear her second LP as Duffy has a bright future ahead.
