Duffy album made on a shoestring

Fri, 05 Sep 2008 09:18:21 +1000

Duffy has revealed her hit album Rockferry cost virtually nothing to make.

The 'Mercy' singer - whose debut album sold more than three million copies worldwide - said the collection was put together on a "shoestring" budget.

She said: "When I was writing it I never knew what my fate was. Neither did my producer Bernard Butler or my manager Jeanette Lee.

"Nobody ever gave Bernard any money to work with me. It was all done on a shoestring.

"It was a labour of love and I was so lucky to have all these people spending a s**tload of time on me, being really patient."

The 24-year-old star - who recently claimed she had not received any royalty payments from the record - also revealed she has no plans to throw her cash around when the money starts to roll in.

She added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "I don't plan to buy a car because I'm a deadly driver. Really I just want to spend it on good dinners, big nights out with friends and many bottles of wine."
