So, Mercy has already been number 1 for two weeks just on downloads & this physical release looks set to boost its success even further. Duffy looks gorgeous on the cover & the song itself is pure brilliance, a departure from the ballad Rockferry, Mercy is an uptempo gem of a track. Based around a 'Stand By Me' esque beat & an ace organ riff, like Rockferry, this is the perfect blend of the old & new - & Duffy delivers it perfectly, proof of her ingenuity & talent as an artist.

That chorus of 'You got me beggin' for mercy' is just so catchy & the 'yeah, yeah, yeah' parts are dead cute - the song's got everything & as if you didn't need anymore persuading, it's a perfect taster for an album which looks set to be one of the biggest sellers of the year.

I've been well impressed by Duffy's b-sides so far - 'Oh Boy' from the Rockferry single was a beautiful song & i am pleased to say this single's b-side, Save It For Your Prayers is just as good. Just Duffy & a piano, it's a charming ballad. Well worth listening to.
