Untitled

Endlessly is the second studio album by Welsh singer-songwriter Duffy. It was released on 26 November 2010 in the UK by A&M Records (under Polydor), and in the US by Mercury Records. Duffy worked almost exclusively with Albert Hammond Snr. on the album, with all but one of the album's songs being written by Hammond and Duffy. Four of the songs received additional or co-production by Stuart Price. Music is also provided by The Roots and ?uestlove. Musically, the album follows the soul stylings of her first album Rockferry (2008), although Duffy drew inspiration from a variety of other genres, including disco and soft rock. It has been said that Duffy wrote the album in three weeks.

The album received mixed reviews, with critics stating that Duffy faltered outside of her comfort zone, although it was called a "proper sophomore effort" and "Effortlessly". Vocally, Duffy's falsetto and vibrato were both criticised and praised, being called "delicious to some and cloying to others." Commercially, it did not replicate Duffy's debut success, reaching just number 72 on the US Billboard 200. However, Endlessly reached the top ten on album charts in Denmark, Finland, Greece, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It has been certified Gold in three European countries thus far.

The first and only single from Endlessly, titled "Well, Well, Well", did not perform well on national charts, and was only a modest European success, reaching a peak of 37 on the European Hot 100 Singles chart and number 41 in the UK. The single features a rhythm section by United States hip hop group The Roots. Duffy promoted the album extensively throughout the world, performing on many television shows and conducting an array of print interviews. A live extended play (EP) of songs from the album was released in Germany in 2011 and plans for a concert tour are listed as "coming soon" on Duffy's website. However, since releasing the album, it has been announced that Duffy is taking an extended break from the music industry to work on her third studio album, and the planned second single from Endlessly - "My Boy" - was cancelled, though a single mix of the title track was digitally released.

Background

In late January 2010 Rough Trade Management, who with Jeanette Lee had managed Duffy, announced that they and the singer had parted amicably with the company. Duffy's new management said that "professional relationship between Duffy and Rough Trade management has run its course."[1][2] Duffy was quoted by Billboard as saying "It just felt as though the relationship [with Lee] had run its course," says Duffy, who's now represented by Angela Becker of London-based Becker Brown Management. "What we had set out to do, we'd done -- I was developed, established, and I had to think: 'OK, so what now?'".[3]

On 16 September Duffy announced the release of the album. With the bulk of it recorded in New York, London and Spain over the course of three weeks[4] in the year prior to release, Duffy had formed a songwriting partnership with Albert Hammond for the record. Billboard reported in November 2010 that Duffy had experimented with a new dance sound, confirming that neither Bernard Butler nor Steve Booker, who produced the bulk of Duffy's debut album, Rockferry, had returned for the record.[3] Billboard reported that highlights of the album included what it called the "funk-fueled" "My Boy", disco-esque "Lovestruck" and string-fueled pop of "Keeping My Baby".[3]

Mercury Records president David Massey said of the album, "Her fans will see it as a natural evolution of her last record. The strength of the record, the fan base that she has already adopted and the opportunity to have multiple singles means we can go further with this record than the last."[3]

Upon its release, Endlessly received generally mixed reviews from most music critics.[15] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 59, based on 21 reviews, which indicates "mixed or average reviews".[15] John Bush from Allmusic, giving the album three stars, stated that the album did not have "anything close to the power and elegance of Rockferry." Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weeklycommended her choice to collaborate with Albert Hammond, stating that he was able to bring out "her inner pop star" on the record. Maerz noted "Lovestruck" and "Girl" were amongst her favourite tracks.[8] Will Dean of The Guardian held a similar position, in one of the more positive reviews for the album arguing that "Albert Hammond's production [...] make[s] the LP a pleasant listen."[9] Similarly, a BBC reviewer praised the "rich, crisp production values" but ended by saying it is "too slight and uneven to impress unconditionally" and that Hammond's collaboration with Duffy "reaps only minor rewards."[16] Rolling Stone called the collection "tasteful, well-made and kind of dull."[12] Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine, giving the album one and a half stars out of five, said that "after 10 tracks of Endlessly, I was just begging her to stop", referencing her earlier hit "Mercy".[13]

However, some critics were more positive towards the album. Okayplayer noted that the songs "capture a retro American sound reminiscent of sock hops and drive-ins so subtly, that the album could have been called Effortlessly."[17] Uncut said that it is "sharp, commercially astute pop music" that is "cool and clever without being contrived."[15][18] Ann Powers of The Los Angeles Times notes that Duffy "tries several different ways to celebrate her unique talents without abandoning the vintage settings that won her such acclaim", calling the lead single a "reggae-tinged rocker" and complementing the return to Rockferry-like Northern Soul on tracks like "Too Hurt to Dance." However, she goes on to write that "Duffy has said she wrote the songs in a mere three weeks, and it shows."[10]

Many were critical about Duffy's voice on the record. John Bush of Allmusic said that "Duffy's voice [...] has not improved with age, or simply isn't portrayed well here." He goes on to say that it is "clearly not her most potent weapon", criticising her choice to "build an album out of it." Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine said that "the bigger problem with Endlessly is that Duffy compensates for her lack of a star persona by overdrawing her syrupy rasp, already noted for its acquired tastiness, into a cartoonish oddity."[13] Spin noted that ultimately, it's the vocals that carry Endlessly. There's no whitewashing of the singer's eccentricities, which feel more pronounced here—she can be gruffly nasal (the oft-repeated chorus of "Well, Well, Well" never stops sounding like "whale, whale, whale") while remaining wholly beguiling."[14] However, Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone, Melissa Maerz of Entertainment Weekly[8] and Will Dean of The Guardian were more complementary, with Dean calling it "beautiful" and "sweet"[9] and Rosen applauding it for being "smoky and touched with grit."[12] Ann Powers of The Los Angeles Times said that her voice is "delicious to some and cloying to others."[10] Duffy was compared to several female pop singers such as Kylie Minogue,[5][10][16] Blondie[17] and Madonna.

Commercial performance

Duffy performing at the SOS 4.8 Festival in Spain in 2009, to promote more commercially successful Rockferry.

Endlessly was physically released on 29 November 2010 in the United Kingdom (UK), and entered the UK Albums Chart in what Billboard called a "somewhat muted entry" the following week (11 December 2010) at number nine,[19] which would go on to be its peak on the chart.[20][21] The following week, it fell to number 19 and then number 25, where it remained for two weeks.[21] It spent a total of 15 weeks in the top 100, spending its last week on the chart at number 75 on 19 March 2011.[21] After five weeks of sale, Endlessly ended 2010 as the 82nd highest-selling album in the UK.[22]

The album also performed well in Europe, reaching the top ten in Denmark, Sweden (number four), The Netherlands, Finland (number nine) and Switzerland (number 10),[23] as well as on the German Download Chart. Endlessly performed best in Denmark, where it reached a peak of number two on the Danish Albums Chart, spending 13 weeks on the top 40.[23] The album also spent 24 weeks on the Dutch Albums Chart, but reached only a peak of number six.[23] It has since been certified Gold in Denmark,[24] Sweden[25] and Switzerland,[26] by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry indicating sales of 10,000, 20,000 and 15,000 respectively.

Elsewhere, the album entered and peaked[27] on the Irish Albums Chart at number 27 on 3 December 2010.[28] This peak was equalled on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart,[23] although the album performed moderately better in New Zealand, where it reached number 19 on the RIANZ Album Chart, spending six weeks on its top 40.[23] In the United States, Endlessly debuted and peaked at number 72 on the Billboard 200,[29] with first-week sales of 18,000 copies.[30] The album performed better digitally, where it reached number 23 on Billboard's Digital Albums chart.[31]

Media outlets worldwide reported the relative commercial failure of the album. The BBC reported that it had "failed to make the top five", comparing it to Rockferrys success as "the best-selling album in the UK in 2008."[32] In one article, Orange, calling Duffy a "Welsh one-album wonder" said that "it must have been a kick in the teeth when Duffy's second album [...] charted at an underwhelming No.9. Not least for her record label A&M, who have gone under after throwing large amounts of cash".[33] The article went on to say that the commercial failure was a result of Duffy's adamance "[the album] was released before Christmas".[33] British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror reported that Duffy would quit music as Endlessly "didn't sell well and charted terribly and she isn't trying again and making a comeback."[34] The article was repeated by many news outlets and music publications worldwide. The BBC once again reported Rockferrys success as "the top international seller of 2008", noting that Endlessly had "sold very poorly".[34]

Promotion

  2. "Keeping My Baby"
  3. "Endlessly"
  4. "Too Hurt to Dance"
  5. "Lovestruck"
  6. "My Boy"
  7. "Warwick Avenue"
  8. "Mercy"

Duffy promoted the album by appearing on various television programmes worldwide throughout the latter stages of 2010 and early 2011, often performing songs featured on the tracklisting of Endlessly, occasionally together with songs from Rockferry. A&M Records' Orla Lee noted that the campaign would focus around "major TV moments", continuing "The thing with Duffy is it's about the voice," she adds. "Live, you really see that."[3] Duffy's first live performance for Endlessly took place on the UK's Later Live... with Jools Holland on October 19 2010, where she performed single "Well, Well, Well" as well as album track "Endlessly", opening and closing the show, respectively.[35] Two days later, on October 21 2010, Duffy performed an "Album Showcase" at the Café de Paris in London.[3] Fans of Duffy's could enter a competition to win tickets to the show and members of the press were invited to preview songs from Endlessly.[36] The Guardian reported a six-piece band and "string sections [...] crammed on to a balcony, adding cute choreographed handclaps."[36] The News of the World, giving the performance five stars out of five, reported that "Duffy previews six new songs and she exudes star quality [...] Looking stunning in a sheer black dress slashed to the thigh, Duffy has a pre-rock 'n' roll glamour on timeless ballad "Too Hurt To Dance" before her first disco- tastic songs, "Lovestruck" and "My Boy"".[37] Yahoo! Music said that Duffy's vocals "resonate with the warbling vibrato of someone far beyond her 26 years".[38] Live visual recordings of seven of the songs performed at the show were later released as music videos to promote the album.[39] The following month, she later visited the set of Strictly Come Dancing to perform "Well, Well, Well" on November 21 2010 complete with backing dancers and background specially assembled for the broadcast. The performance coincided with the release of the song to digital outlets that day. The same week, Duffy was interviewed and performed on breakfast show This Morning as well as light news programme The One Show.[40][3] In December, Duffy returned to the Strictly Come Dancing series eight finale on 20 December 2010 to perform "Mercy" from Rockferry. The Guardian said that "Duffy wanted all attention on her genius arm-flinging dance."[41]

Internationally, Duffy made several appearances in many countries, especially in the United States. Duffy made an appearance "beautifully croon[ing]" "Well, Well, Well" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on 4 November 2010.[42] Later that week, Duffy sang "Endlessly" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[43] Duffy later performed "Well, Well, Well" on American daily talkshow The Ellen DeGeneres Show on 7 December 2010 (the day of Endlessly's American release).[44] Duffy was backed by a complete brass section.[45] Idolator said that "we never really tire of watching the blonde Grammy winner belt out this tale of suspicious love".[45] Duffy made a further performance on The Today Show where she performed "Endlessly".[46]

Although an international concert tour was expected, and despite tour dates listed as "coming soon" on her website, and Billboard reporting that "European and U.S. dates are expected in early 2011",[3] this never materialised.

Single

"Well, Well, Well" was released as the album's lead single worldwide in October 2010. It was the album's only commercially-released single, reaching peaks of number 41 on the UK Singles Chart and 37 on the European Hot 100 Singles chart. In mainland Europe, it managed to chart in the top twenty in Finland, Belgium and Switzerland, reaching number 11 in the former.[47] A single edit for "Endlessly" was digitally released in 2010 to complement this release, as well as a music video filmed in Oxford, directed by Chris Cottam.[48] The single was promoted extensively as part of a campaign of "major TV moments", taking in the UK, the United States as well as seven countries around Europe in 2010 and 2011.[3] Although praised by many, some thought that it "is possibly the weakest of the new tunes."[37]

A second single release was planned for the songs "Endlessly", "Keeping My Baby" and "My Boy" in 2011, and a music video was filmed for the latter in February 2011. A clip of the prospective B-side to the "My Boy" release, scheduled for 13 March 2011,[49] "Tell Me", was released on the internet and a single edit of "My Boy" was produced by Tom Elmherst. However, the single was removed from pre-order on digital outlets and the release was cancelled following Duffy's announcement of a career hiatus. The song's music video or B-side have not been released.
