Duffy - Warwick Avenue(written by Duffy, Hogarth & White; 2007; UK #3; May 2008)
And so to the best single of 2008. Whilst the list is ballad heavy, it really has been the women's year. From Blue Eyed soul, to R'n'B beats, Electro pop to Retro pastiche, 2008 was the year the girls would dominate. From the first note 'Warwick Avenue' is captivating. It's the ode to what could have been, the last chance, the last goodbye. It's retro, and it's moving and it's epic. With a video so simple and so fitting for the song, real emotion like this had not been seen since Sinead O'Connor confessed that nothing compared too you. 2008 was Duffy's year, with the biggest selling album of the year, 'Rockferry' a million seller, she will have to work fucking hard to beat this beauty of a song.
Best Lyric: "When i get to Warwick Avenue/ I'll tell you, baby, that we're through"
