Amy Winhouse wannabe Duffy may be all the rage in the U.K., but she does nothing for us!
Why????
Her voice is nasal and abrasive to our ears!
Miz Jully Black, however, has a vocal quality like butter, reminiscent of India Arie.
Jully's song Seven Day Fool captures beautifully that neo-retro sound that Wino brought back with a vengeance.
The song is delicious!
Enjoy it below and then CLICK HERE to check out some fierce remixes of Seven Day Fool, from Jully Black.

Duffy has an incredible voice actually, really original and pure
I was her server at a venue she played and not only is her voice beautiful and strong, but she's also incredibly kind to everyone. Thanks for putting her up!
yay! she's canadian and such an amazing talent!
Jully's cool and all! BUT, unlike so many of Amy's singles, "Seven Day Fool" is merely a cover of Etta James!!!!
when i heard this song for the first time in the radio, i thought she was christina aguilera!!
yeeeeeeeeeeeee she used to live in my building a few years bacckk.. ! biiiiggg upsssssssss to her!
get up2date dude
awesome song .. but olddddddddddddd
in canada
maybe 4 months ago
but hey
exposure is exposure
YAY!!! its jully
shes so talented i actually met her once and shes really down to earth. but yea woot woot she does make Torontonians proud!
Duffy's NOTHING like Amy! At least she ain't no crack whore.
Cool song. But I disagree about Duffy…love her song "Mercy". And btw, people who write "first" should be shot.
Just to let you all know, it's been playing for atleast six months here in canda. Did you just hear it?
Yeah, the song isn't new to us up here, but what's wrong with letting others know about good music any time! Jully is fantastic, and she is such a cool girl! She is smart and funny as well as talented, so I add myself to everyone happy you posted about her.
However, I love Duffy, don't hate Perez!
That's quality. When she stands sideways an sticks out her toung, she doesn't look like a zipper.
Duffy is sooooo much better!! Get real perez!!!!!!!
Duffy's album is the bomb!!!!
Seen Duffy LIVE she is amazing!!!
Hey Perezita! I love Jully! Thanks for featuring an amazing Canadian artist! Check out her new song, "Unitl I Stay." It's getting a fair amount of radio play up here in Canadialand and it's awesome! Way to go Jully!
She is Canadian…
And she rocks. Check out her new album, it's fire!
Jully…you are awesome! You are hard working and HILARIOUS and finally getting this awesome shoutout that you TOTALLY deserve!!! Rock on GIRL!!!!
Old song, but g0od for you for featuring it, perez!
I didn't know that Star Jones could sing.
Nice voice sure.. SUCKY SONG I can't iamgine anyone listening to that crap. Sorry perez
Another CANADIAN that kicks ASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Pic is very Shirley Bassey. This is pretty good. Who the hell is Duffy? I've heard her being compared to Dusty Springfield, which is a crime, since NO ONE can touch Dusty.
You're slipping, Perez…
I can't believe you're only discovering the amazing Canadian Ms Black now…although I guess better late than never…
You're retarded…not nasal at all….
But not that good either.
This has been playing in Canada for months and months, but better late than never. Great song, great retro soul. Destined to be a classic, IMHO. Good ears, P.
Ms.Jully Black rocks that shit
I can't believe you JUST heard of this song…
it's been around FOREVER
what the hell are you talking about.Duffy is great and her and Amy are nothing alike and Duffy aint trying to be her.You really aint got a clue when it comes to music have you perez,You just say crap that you think people want to hear but get it so so wrong!!!!!
I think you should keep your trap shut on the music front from now on.
Hmmmmm, me thinks you should listen to more Canadian music, Jully Black has been around forever. This song has been on the radio getting on my nerves for months now.
GO JULIE!!!!! CANADA LOVES YOU
Perez hasn't got a clue. He dumped Leona Lewis & now she hit #1 in the states (& 25 other countries) & he doesn't mention it. He backed Adele (lol) instead of Duffy, now Duffy is blowing up worlwide & he looks stupid again. Rolling Stone mag is the most authorative in the US & they are raving over Duffy.The guy is a loser in the world of music.
this song is far from new.
it's been played and now it's over.
i first heard it at least 7 or 8 months ago.
come on perez, keep up with the times.
This is the female version of Craig David's "Seven Days".
Just like Mister David, she's got an amazing voice and the song is damn catchy!
This is such an old song
i thought perez prized himself in featuring new and up and coming musicians? this is already overplayed on the Canadian radio scene, but it still is a wicked song!
we love you jully!!!
I am so sick of that song! Every bloody time I turn on the radio its on, I liked at first, but its been overplayed and its had its 15 minutes
Yay Jully! Thank you Perez for posting this - Jully is incredible and you should listen to her whole album! Until I Stay is absolute perfection.
Perez, did you jsut here this song? This song has been a chart topper here in canada since last summer… Wow… americans need to catch up on good music…
wow, this song had been so overplayed here in Calgary, Alberta for months that you very rarely hear it on the radio anymore…with that said, hopefully this will give her some more exposure to the American music scene
Americans are so lucky Duffy is one the radio/mtv/other music sources all the time, or more and really deteste it, she is so annoying.
love it
DJ Play My Song by Jully Black is her new single and it is FIERCE. A GREAT dance track but still nice and organic like 7 Day Fool.
Are there any cute gay men out there who like to kiss and cuddle?
this song is great, agreed, however it has been out for almost a year. i guess your finger is not necessarily on the proverbial pulse of what's new. still, props to jully.
this song has been out forever in canada , it isn't even played reguarly on the radio anymore
Also check out "Until I Stay" off of Jully's CD which is my favorite song!
Thanks for supporting Canada Perez!
This has been a hit in Canadialand for months now… haha
This song is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo over played in Montreal!!!
:S
Her new one is pretty good though….
Ugh, everytime this song comes on the radio in Vancouver I want to slice my ears off. So old, so horrendous.
GIMME A FUCKING BREAK. YOU'RE JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT HER NOW?? SHE'S BEEN ON THE TORONTO AIRWAVES WITH THIS SONG FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW…
I am sooooo sad about this!!!! Etta James did it SOOO much better! It's one thing when new talent does old songs so well that it's really a "tribute" to a classic sound, but when new talent just CRAPS on old standards, it makes me embarrassed for them. If Seven Day Fool is any indication of this woman's future success, I doubt we'll hear from her again after 2008.
this girl is a great singer and i love the song……but as for your opinion on Duffy i believe is wrong…..Duffy is a modern day Dusty Springfield and there ain't nothingwrong with that, being as Dusty is one of the most important vocalists of all time
Check out Jully Black on Nas' song "Heaven" on his God's Son album. She is incredible.
Yea Canada yea Jully! Met her at fashion week, great talented girl! Yea!!
wow!! i can't believe your featuring Jully Black on here!! That's awsome!
T.O. represent! =D
Yeah, it's been out in Canada for awhile, but regardless, it's still an awesome song. Good call by featuring this song on your site Perez and giving it exposure outside of Canada
This lady is an amazing performer. But honestly the production and writing of this song is a poor man's Amy Winehouse. If you like the style of this song you should really check out the real deal like Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.
Uh Perez, Duffy's stuff is great. Her voice is like Dusty Springfield's, its clearly British, but absolutely gorgeous.
This chick has a nice voice, but seriously go listen to Sharon Jones. It's like if you took a voice ten times better than this chick and put it with Amy Winehouse's horn section (literally both are backed by the Dap-Kings).
You are late…she's been out for awhile now. I heard her on Live 365's Liquid Soul Elements.
ARGH angered even more, how the fook can duffy be ripping off winehouse?? their style is completely different, if youre going to go down that road then you have to lump all of these artists (including your jully) into one and say that theyre all ripping off old school soul, the supremes and miss springfield. Keep plugging those gay ass jonas brothers who coicidentally wont make it big in england as theyre a pile of wank…stick to what you know perez
Um, Ive only heard one duffy song…but it still shits over winehouse. They BOTH have nasally abrasive voices. At least Duffy isnt a fucking trainwreck and bad role model
The world needs to know about this woman, if you love the song, wait until you see her live! The R&B scene in Canada struggles to get noticed on a world wide level. Jully is one of MANY talented R&B artists in Canada. I hope this is the beginning of Canadian R&B being a contender in todays music
Jully Black was actually the one who made up the nickname "fergilicious" for Fergie, because they toured together..and then next thing you know there is a song about it haha
u will be eating ur words about duffy within 3 months.
truuuust me.
That song is OLD Perez!
so yah, this song was all over canadian radio and television this past fall. that being said, i think that it's great that jully black is finally getting some exposure south of the border. she has been around for a few years, and hasn't gotten the respect that she has deserved in the music industry. her last big hit 'sweat of your brow' was huge a few summers ago, and was one of the most downloaded songs of the summer….that being said, they were illegally downloaded, and her album failed to make the huge impact that it should have. hopefully she finds sales success with this album on both sides of the border. thanks perez for introducing her to an international audience.
YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT UP DJ PLAY MY SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT SONG SELL OFF. IT IS WICKED!!! SUCH AN ORIGINAL DANCE SOUND WITH SICK DRUMS!
I like her, love the retro sound, glad its coming back! But no one tops our Wino!!!
A lil late on this one, this song is old news.
Canadian talent….woot woot
love, love, LOVE this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Buffalo, NY and listen to Toronto's 99.9 Mix FM all the time in hopes of hearing this … it's the BEST!!!! glad you're getting her more attention!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys are just discovering her now!!! She is THE canadian jew, beautiful soulful voice. Check out sweat off your brow, wicked tune!!
GO JULIE
She's very good…but she still doesn't have that Winehouse "WOW!" factor for me. I don't know, maybe cause I'm partial to Winehouse, but her songs come from somewhere deeper.
But I'd still buy this Jully Black, she is better than Duffy. But I still wouldn't obsess over her like a do for Amy Winehouse.
LISTEN TO JULLY BLACK "UNTIL I STAYED"
Big up to Jane and Finch's Jully Black. She came from one of T-Dot's toughest neighbourhoods.
Jully Black is a great singer, but Perez she is also HILARIOUS when she interviews people. She steals the show! Canada loves her. xoxo
I LOVE HER!! yes yes yes yes yes! duffy's alright but i heart jully black!
i must say - nothing compared to winehouse…but i still like her!
AMAZING WOMEN, her music is awesome, very classey women.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jully Black is a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
whooo ya Jully Black is great. Way to go Perez. If anyone has anymore interest in her check out some of her other tunes: Sweat off your Brow; Untill I Stay (Remix)!!!!!
you're a little late, this song has already been playing on the canadian air waves for a while now. thanks for supporting another canadian artist though!!
the tracks DJ Play my Song and Until
i Stay are worth checking out too. The Whole album is amazing!
How dare you not like DUFFY? "Mercy" is the most amazing track of the year so far. Clean out your ears
This song was on the Canadian charts LAST SUMMER. Good job staying on top of things. LOL
lawl.. that is ashanti.
glad to see you featuring one of my FAVE canadian artists
I'm etta james B*TCH!
She's also a songwriter, she worked behind the scenes of artists like destiny child, and other r&b singers, writing their music, as for the song it's cliched, been there done that.
I love Jully Black. This song has been playing forever on the radio here in T.dot and it never gets old. Such a nice lady too from her radio interviews!
We Canadians have been enjoying Jully for a while now, it's good to see her making some waves down south.
good beat…but she sounds very masculine.
Um no, Perez. Have you actually listened to Duffy? First of all, amazing voice. Quite possibly better than Amy Winehouse. Secondly, Amy Wineouse want-NOT-to-be. She refuses to use her first name, Amy, so as to avoid similarities to Winehouse.
This song is old, Perez! Get with the program!!
I'm from canada eh? I was eating some backbacon when I noticed one of our own was being mentioned, but they play the song too much! I start getting angry (you don't want to see a canadian when there angry) I might have to dethaw my ass from my igloo and get up , grrrrrrrrr.
Is that samuel l jackson ?
Duffy is amazing and not a crack whore like Winehouse.
Jully Black looks like a TRANNY!!
Perez, do you notice that whenever you talk about Canadians or about Canada you piss off half of your Canadian readers?
This version of 7 Day Fool is horrible. I've been hearing this song on the radio for MONTHS! Nothing against Jully Black! She's talented and also hilarious! But what pisses me off is that she's been out forever and now that you're little miss star maker you're going to sell out all the good shit in the world.
Do what you're good at: looking like a slob and encouraging badly behaved celebs to keep being stupid.
Such a kickass song!!!! Love to see a Canadian artist get recognized!
