不论中外，吉他唱作人路线有如历久不衰依然受尽青睐，近年他方的英国陆续有不少新鲜上阵的唱作型女歌手，今次有被誉为“新Amy Winehouse”的Adele。年仅19岁的Adele生於英国Tottenham，自幼受爵士乐薰陶，如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是她陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。早于14岁已开始作曲，及后毕业于著名表演艺术学府BRIT School，亦即于Kate Nash、Amy Winehouse和Katie Melua等人份属校友。毕业后曾跟随不少音乐人作巡演乐手，如Jamie T、Amos Lee和Keren Ann等。
07年底分别推出了两张细碟《Hometown Glory》和《Chasing Pavements》，直至本月底首张专辑《19》才上市。尽管年纪轻轻，但她的唱腔并不幼嫩，混合骚灵的技巧及具爆发力的演译，唱功不容忽视。有人认为她的声线像Dusty Springfield和Jill Scott，那略带低沉而沙哑的嗓子颇适合唱爵士和蓝调。
据她所说这张专辑是关于18至19岁年青人的爱情，是一张比较失落的唱片。但从单曲《Chasing Pavements》和《Hometown Glory》的旋律中，渗透出的成熟韵味，并非年轻爱侣的小情小爱。
《Daydreamer》中以Acoustic吉他作伴奏，刻意放轻的唱腔结合旋律流露出简朴之美。同类型的《Melt My Heart To Stone》则较具节奏感，那充满感情的演译，更为动听。
喜欢写诗的她，在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中，尽显才情。当Amy Winehouse过著荒唐日子之时，且看她会否藉此机会攀上更高位置。

"No One" is an R&B, neo-soul and jazz song written and produced by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys and American songwriter-producers Kerry Brothers, Jr. and George D. Harry for Keys' third studio album, As I Am (2007). Released as the album's lead single in September 2007, this is overall Keys' most successful song worldwide to date, topping the United World Chart for two weeks and becoming the twentieth best-selling single of 2007 with points of 3,556,000.

专辑介绍
一介新人能与乐坛传奇媲美，可见来头不小。但是这位 新人 还是希望，早日能够摆脱「新amy winehouse」，「21世纪的Dusty Springfield」等封号。「我努力的很久才获得今日的成就，我的声音值得大家记得我的名字- Duffy达菲。」
duffy来自威尔士靠海的乡下地方Nefyn，逛唱片行可得要坐公交车到隔壁城镇，看音乐节目得跟爸爸借一千零一卷的60年代电视节目录像带，也从这么一卷带子让她反复欣赏Beatles、Rolling Stones等巨星风采。除此之外，生长环境几乎等同于山顶洞人，让达菲音乐天份不受任何限制、不受任何影响，全然的随性养成，造就其自然奔放且毫无界限的灵魂唱腔。Duffy达菲、就这么成为25年来第一个拿下金榜冠军的威尔士女歌手。
15岁时开始自组乐团，大学时被电视台发掘参加如Pop Idol的实境歌唱选秀节目，获得亚军，也让她辗转认识了前Suede吉他手Bernard Butler，初见面就被Duffy几乎与世隔绝却如此真诚的歌声感动，二话不说就自愿担任她首张专辑制作人，为她的特出嗓音找到最佳乐团编制与曲式，果然让Duffy一鸣惊人，两度获邀至英国收视最高主持人Jools Holland的现场音乐节目表演，高度曝光让她首支正式单曲“Mercy”还未发行就以网络销量空降No.1、连带处女大碟【Rockferry】同步空降英国冠军。
带着现今乐坛少有的blue-eyed soul乐团风味，专辑同名曲“Rockferry”是献给父亲原乡的衷曲，而接在连美国MTV都大力叫好的冠军单曲“Mercy”之后，伤心情歌 “Warwick Avenue”则唱出了在车站遇见前男友的心情故事。Duffy已被BBC专业DJ群票选为2008最受瞩目新星、更被看好入围明年的全英音乐奖，即使这样她走在路上还会被问到这副声音是怎么来的，她也只是耸肩回答「就和我的眼睛是蓝色的道理一样啊」！
