State of Happiness - Stella Duffy

Duffy the Emotional Slayer....

Advantages: Stunning Vocals / Music with Very Emotional and Heartfelt Lyrics
Disadvantages: Probably a bit too short

Sometime last Year, I remember reading that the new " singing sensation " from Wales was going to be on the Jools Holland Later show, her name was Duffy, and was someone I had never heard of before at the time, so I duly taped the show and was quite impressed by what I saw and heard, and being Welsh myself, I like to keep in touch with the local music scene.
