Hopefully no more “what happened to Duffy questions”, now you know … and I am free. "I ask myself now, as I write this … what makes me feel more beautiful, more hopeful and more at peace? So, if I do indeed press SEND and put this online, I hope it brings me the smile in my eyes, the light in my life, that has been absent for just so long. To feel a peace that I have been, until now, only half feeling. I would like to experience me being who I really am, for the first time, privately. She said: "And I really don’t know what’s next for me. She ended the post by telling fans she was now "free". I have been hurt and it would have been dangerous to talk from that hurt place in the past, prior to feeling ready." Me and it living in my being, I no longer wanted to feel that intimacy with it, a decade of that intimacy has been destructive.

Elton John - BBC Sessions, Volume 3 - Sounds for S.I originally wanted to use that single cover for the cover here, but I could only find blurry, low quality versions. For the next of both her name and the album title, I exactly imitated the text on the cover of the "Rain on Your Parade" single. The album cover photo is a promotional photo from 2008. Hopefully someday she'll fully reconnect with her musical mojo and put out more music like this and "Rockferry." I think it is impressive that she wrote or co-wrote all the songs. It's much better to consider this her real second album.
In my opinion, "Endlessly" was a mistake, with terrible production that tried to make her sound like all the other generic pop crap on the radio, overwhelming the soulful singing that makes her special. It, plus the next three songs, were released as bonus tracks to a deluxe version of "Rockferry." All the other songs are B-sides, except for "Enough Love" and "Smoke without Fire," which were released first on movie soundtracks. The first song was a significant hit for her. If one puts together all the "Rockferry" related B-sides, there's exactly enough songs for an album that's very much in the "Rockferry" style, and is nearly as good. Like Oasis with their first couple of albums, she blew lots of very good songs on B-sides that few people listened to. However, it turns out she has a de facto second album of all original material that's much, much better. Personally, I really like the "Rockferry" album, but I think "Endlessly" is best forgotten. But her next album, "Endlessly" in 2010, was a critical and commercial disappointment, and she hasn't released another album since then, apparently due to a sexual trauma in the early 2010s that totally derailed her career. Her debut album "Rockferry" was the best selling album in Britain that year. Duffy has had a very strange musical career.
