Duffy

Blues
BluesHousePop

Duffy is a Blues and House act. Their catalogue also touches Pop and Rhythm and blues. Their sound grew out of Courteeners, Estelle, The Courteeners, Mint Royale and Paloma Faith. Those roots explain a lot about how Duffy arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Rebecca Ferguson, Emeli Sandé, Gabriella Cilmi, Leona Lewis and James Morrison, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Lessons to Be Learned, Candice Glover, The Fate of Ophelia, I Got a Boy and Mama Do, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 44 connections around Duffy, reaching back through Courteeners and forward to Lessons to Be Learned. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
