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 x4I love youBut i gotta stay trueMy morals got me on my kneesI'm begging please stop playing gamesI don't know what this is'Cos you got me goodJust like you knew you wouldI don't know what you doBut you do it wellI'm under your spellChorusYou got me begging you for mercyWhy wont you release meYou got me begging you for mercyWhy wont you release meI said release meNow you think that iWill be something on the sideBut you got to understandThat i need a manWho can take my hand yes i doi dont know what this isbut you got me goodjust like you knew you wouldi dont know what you dobut you do it wellI'm under your spell[Duffy Mercy Lyrics & Videoon http://songlyricsvideos.com]Yo... got me begging you for mercywhy wont you release meyou got me begging you for mercywhy wont you release meI said you'd better release yeah yeah yeahI'm begging you for mercyYes why wont you release meI'm begging you for mercyYou got me beggingYou got me beggingYou got me beggingMercy, why wont you release meI'm begging you for mercyWhy wont you release meYou got me begging you for mercyI'm begging you for mercyI'm begging you for mercyI'm begging you for mercyI'm begging you for mercyWhy wont you release me yeah yeahbreak it down
