It was called a "big, retro-sounding pop-soul number".Ĭommercially, the song was a moderate chart success, peaking at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, and reaching the top ten on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart. Musically, the song bears a striking resemblance to James Bond songs, making notable use of strings. It received positive reviews from critics, with many complimenting Duffy's vocals. The song marked a departure from the down-tempo soul and balladry of the original version of Rockferry, incorporating elements of R&B and soul. It is an up-tempo pop song in which Duffy uses an idiom for ruining her lover and their intentions. The song was written by Duffy and Rockferry collaborator Steve Booker and produced by Booker. It was released as the lead and only single from the deluxe album worldwide on 9 November 2008. Norah Jones - Everybody Knows - Various Songs (201."

I originally wanted to use that single cover for the cover here, but I could only find blurry, low quality versions. For the next of both her name and the album title, I exactly imitated the text on the cover of the "Rain on Your Parade" single. The album cover photo is a promotional photo from 2008. Hopefully someday she'll fully reconnect with her musical mojo and put out more music like this and "Rockferry." I think it is impressive that she wrote or co-wrote all the songs. It's much better to consider this her real second album. In my opinion, "Endlessly" was a mistake, with terrible production that tried to make her sound like all the other generic pop crap on the radio, overwhelming the soulful singing that makes her special. It, plus the next three songs, were released as bonus tracks to a deluxe version of "Rockferry." All the other songs are B-sides, except for "Enough Love" and "Smoke without Fire," which were released first on movie soundtracks. The first song was a significant hit for her. If one puts together all the "Rockferry" related B-sides, there's exactly enough songs for an album that's very much in the "Rockferry" style, and is nearly as good. Like Oasis with their first couple of albums, she blew lots of very good songs on B-sides that few people listened to. However, it turns out she has a de facto second album of all original material that's much, much better. Personally, I really like the "Rockferry" album, but I think "Endlessly" is best forgotten. But her next album, "Endlessly" in 2010, was a critical and commercial disappointment, and she hasn't released another album since then, apparently due to a sexual trauma in the early 2010s that totally derailed her career. Her debut album "Rockferry" was the best selling album in Britain that year.

Duffy has had a very strange musical career.
