White Soul Singer Certifies Her G
Duffy feat. The Game: "Mercy (Remix)"
"D-U-F-F-Y, he crossed over just like A.I."
Ugh. A NEXT artist in VIBE'S June issue (out now), the unassuming, blonde, Welsh soul singer Duffy is trying to get that Amy Winehouse money. Which is fine. She's got a specific shrieky texture to her voice that fits in nicely with a rising trend--the a pronounced, somewhat troubling white soul thing going on that Starbucks shoppers are clearly excited about it. Though Duffy is more Ronettes than Amy, she's very much in the same lane.
The Game is a rapper that likes referencing other famous people, particularly rappers. Though he's not averse to namedropping a ballplayer or an actor, from time to time. The Game is talented and quite famous, particularly for a post-millennial rap star. But he's remained utterly street in presentation. He scowls. When not scowling, he sulks. To my knowledge he's never made such an overtly female-centric move. I'm not entirely sure who this song is for.
