She has two new songs on the upcoming movie soundtrack 'Legend' (out in September). I'm really looking forward to it because her debut album was really great and I loved loved loved 'Stepping Stone' and 'Mercy', excellent songs.

The two songs are called 'Are You Sure' and 'Make The World Go Away'

I have to agree with you about her debut album. She had a lot of really great songs on that album, in particular Mercy.

I did know that she was going to contribute new songs to a forthcoming film soundtrack. So this is really interesting to hear that this has been confirmed. Whether or not the recording of the two songs will inevitably lead to a third studio album, I don't know.

She may very well want to ease gently back in and go from there, since it has been a long time since her last album came out in 2010.

apparently, because the sales of her second album were so poor, she decided to "take a break"

I really want her to return. I've been listening to her debut album a lot lately

I know that many singers are happy to appear in TV Commercials, but that 'Coke' advert (IMO) killed her career stone dead.
It didn't help that her second album was crap either though.

She looks like a cross between Lana Del Rey and Jessie J. Glad to hear she's back though I loved her debut album

Yeah, the Coke ad seemed to really turn folk against her.

Neither did I. She plays the late American singer, Timi Yuro in a small supporting role.

I really love her rendition of "Make the world go away".

With the release of the EP, it does look very likely that she is planning a forthcoming third album for next year sometime. Could there be a tour. Well..................

I would certainly be interested in a new album and I would even like to see her live. I have been listening to her debut album a lot lately, I think 'Stepping Stone' is one of her best songs tbh. I also love 'Distant Dreamer'.

I think maybe whatever label or management she is with is testing the waters with her songs in the Legend film and to see if there's an interest. From what I've seen there's certainly been people saying "Duffy's back!" as opposed to "oh no" kinda thing XD

I wasn't keen on her second album but in all fairness I can't really remember it, so I may check it out again.

She is still with Polydor, I noticed when I was on iTunes yesterday that the copyright of the two songs - Whole Lot of Love is also on the Legend soundtrack, so that makes three - on the new EP is credited to Polydor.

They will be testing the waters, especially since it has been a long time she released anything. Apparently, I was looking on her Facebook page and an user left a comment telling her that Sam Smith had been listening to her debut, Rockferry on a loop.

Ooh interesting.

I definitely think if Duffy returns with an album she will be an artist kind of like Caro Emerald & Rumer (i'm not familiar with those artists but from what I can tell, they have their own little market which works really well for them). I don't think Duffy should try and crack mainstream again, particularly if she isn't comfortable with it like last time.

Dreadful case of second album syndrome. For me there was a very fine line between her voice being divinely unique and causing a severe headache. It was 50/50 depending on what mood I was in. Mercy though always a first class tune and performance.

She features prominently in a couple of the film's club scenes, but it's not exactly career comeback material.

She's in two brief scenes in the movie. Her first scene she is pretty much in the background, singing on stage. I didn't recognise her but the person I was with did.

Second scene she is in a different club, singing a song at Reggie's table.

She has no speaking lines and her character isn't named. She's kind of hard to recognise with the hair and because she isn't actually on screen much.

Her voice isn't as horrific as you would imagine.

She is actually mentioned in the end credits. I saw it the other day and spotted her name in the credits and wondered if it was the singer form a few years back.
