Duffy: 'Rain On Your Parade'
At the beginning of the year, music critics tagged Duffy as "one of the new Amys", but with her debut album likely to become the biggest seller of 2008, the Welsh singer is now very much a contemporary of Winehouse – in terms of musical achievement, that is, rather than extracurricular activities. Fresh from setting her hair alight on tour in the US, Duffy is back with single number five.

A new track taken from the 'Deluxe Edition' of her Rockferry album, 'Rain On Your Parade' has a more orchestral sound than her previous releases, leading many to speculate that it may have been intended for the new Bond flick. Whether it lost out to Jack and Alicia or not, this sounds like another smash for Duffy, with her distinctive vocals sure to provide warming comfort as the cold winter nights set in.

Her voice sounds like a cat being strangled in her newer songs, she doesn't DO upper range, she can't. "Mercy" worked because she is a natural Alto. She's trying to include a higher range and it's simply awful.

I liked her warwick avenue song, but this song makes her voice so annoying and irritating.

Sorry Duffy but this track is DUFF compared to the others.. Why bother releasing such a second rate song which was probably dropped off the initial pressing of the album? Let alone re-package the album with it on to shift some more copies? Sorry but not impressed...

I can't say I'm a big fan of her previous releases but this song is brilliant! I thought she was overrated before and I don't have the album but now I might do, if it's anything like this song!

Warming comfort ? hardly. Her screetching voice could wake a dead man. not the kind of comfort I'm looking for on a cold winter night. It's a brilliant track ruined by an awful singer.

Song is ok, but I am very disappointed that yet another artist is fleecing her fans with a 'deluxe' version of her already released album... I would rather she released this single, then maybe another before giving us a new album sometime next year... very disappointing!
