    While not explicitly a concept or homage album, Endlessly captures a retro American sound reminiscent of sock hops and drive-ins so subtly, that the album could have been called Effortlessly.

    This album was - for the most a low grade release. I try not to focus on comparing artist albums with there previous releases - but i can't help it. Rockferry sold 6.5 Million across the globe and was met with outstanding reviews, it won a Grammy award and won the prestigious 'MasterCard British Album Award' at the Brit awards, and for the right reasons. This album however is lacking, not lyrically, but i feel vocally is where is album fails. Duffy has an incredable voice, her vocal range is outstanding (Warick Avenue at the Brit Awards for example) - but for the most she does nothing catching on this album, just when you think she's about to belt out a note or two she just doesn't. I'm a huge fan of Duffy, but i am very disappointed with this album. Although saying that - 'Well, Well, Well', 'My Boy, 'Don't Forsake Me', 'To Hurt to Dance' and 'Love Struck' are by far the outstanding tracks on the album, and i know 5/10 isn't bad - but when i say outstanding, i mean better than the rest, but by no means do i mean as good as Rockferry.… Full Review »

    If "Rockferry" was a interesting and good album, "Endlessly" is repetitive and it's not good. With all the respect but for me Duffy is the classical artist that has a big success with the first album and then disappears. I hope that now she'll takes a break form music, for return with a good album like her first. ( sorry for my English )… Full Review »

    Ah, the tricky second album, for some it remains, for some it destroys, for some it improoves and for Duffy it didn't really do anything. It's a good album, it has a lot of likability, you cannot help but find her music interesting. It might not be the most groundbreaking music of all time, but it's retro at it's sweetest. I hate to compare artists albums, i like to take them for the individual record that they are, but at times you want Duffy to belt out a note or two like she did on previously, i mean, she won a Grammy for 'Best Pop Vocal Album' and sold 6.5 Million copies of Rockferry, her voice made her the star she is..why didn't she use it on this album ? Comparisons aside, this album might not be able to hold it's own against the likes of Adele's 21 or Imelda May's Mayhem but it quite frankly **** all over Jessie J's Who You Are.… Full Review »
