:o 'Back To Black' is an amazing album. I haven't got this album yet, I should be getting it for my birthday in a few weeks though.

 

I absolutely love 'Warwick Avenue', it makes 'Mercy' sound bad, it's just so lovely. :wub:

No. I have both albums and Duffy's is far better.

I prefer this to 'Mercy' and I can see it becoming a hit.
It has reached a new peak of #13 in the UK this week on downloads alone! :cheer:
clearly trying to pull on the Sinead O'Connor heartstrings...but it feels a bit staged and fake...

 

but imo vocally not in the same league as Sinead O'Connor - you just have to listen to Ian Brown's Illegal Attacks and her contribution does give the record something else - something that gives a shiver down your spine

 

still definitely the best song on the album though, absolutely gorgeous to listen to

 

actually would like to hear Will Young sing it

Duffy for Joe Meek film

BBC6 MUSIC NEWS

Butler and Duffy turn to film soundtrack

 

23 May 2008 - Bernard Butler is working on a cover with Duffy for a film about the pioneering English producer and songwriter Joe Meek.

The former Suede guitarist and producer of the female singer's successful debut album Rockferry, spoke to 6 Music at the Ivor Novello Awards about his forthcoming project with her.

 

He said: "It's a Joe Meek production, it's a song called Please Stay and it's the last song that Joe Meek recorded and they got me to produce a version of it with Duffy singing it.""The bigger she gets the better she gets, hand in glove, it suits her."

Butler had only positive praise for the Welsh star and their ongoing partnership.

 

He explained: "She's working hard for the cause, she's out there working, slogging her guts out and I'm in a studio. It's a perfect relationship."

 

He went on: "She's born for it, she gets better. The bigger she gets the better she gets, hand in glove, it suits her. She's great, she's a fantastic pop star and she's our best pop star. You couldn't ask for anything more, she's a great singer, she's got great songs and she just makes you feel good when you see her on the telly."

 

Finally, as to whether she will have much artistic input on the track for the film, which is to be called Telstar, Butler joked:

 

"I just do everything, she comes in and just gets her picture taken. I mean, this is a cover version we're doing but yeah, the other stuff we've done - she comes in with ideas and a little notebook and we just play records and talk and drink tea and then see what happens."

Guitarist Bernard Butler has revealed he has retired from performing.

 

"I'm 38 with three children," Butler told ITV’s Teletext service. "It wouldn't feel right to keep going on stage, so, no, I don't miss performing. I'm happy to be a producer - there's no-one I'm dying to work with, I'll go where the work is."

 

Butler became one of the UK’s indie-rock guitar heroes of the '90s with Suede, recording two albums, though he left in acrimonious circumstances during the mixing of the second, Dog Man Star. He went on to make two solo albums, two with David McAlmont, and a reunion album with Suede singer Brett Anderson under the name The Tears.

 

He’s been increasingly in demand as a producer, working on releases by The Libertines, The Veils, Black Kids, with his most successful work coming in the last year. Butler co-wrote, played on, and produced four tracks for the UK’s best-selling album of 2008 so far, Rockferry, by Duffy. He is currently producing the forthcoming 1990s album.

Well the Joe Meek documentary was interesting and some of his productions are great sci-fi pop songs that are still quite bizarre today so must have been quite mind-warping in the early 60s - but if Butler can capture that spacey Johnny Leyton - Johnny Remember Me/Tornados - Telstar vibe then it will be quite cool.

 

btw i wonder if Muse will bw on the soundtrack too???

 

 

 

"Warwick Avenue" has climbed to #16 this week in Ireland.
  • 2 weeks later...

When Mercy was out I really really hated the song. But I LOVE Warwick Avenue! :heart: I can play it on repeat over and over again (altho I'm trying not to that much anymore, because I dont want to over play it and get sick of it :lol: )

 

Anyway, it made me download the album so I could see what the other songs were like and I love it! Still not a big fan of Mercy yet tho :lol: I will deffo be buying the album at the weekend :D
