Duchess - Girlband!

Shanie, Nadine, Jamie Lisa and Annie Rae, together they are Duchess. A new girl group from London. But do we need a new one?

There have been many girl groups who have come and gone. What have Duchess got that's different from the rest? Firstly, they can actually sing and I'm not talking about the lucky note that some people hit but their harmonies are tight. But that's still not enough to make them different from other groups. They also look good too. Natural beauties. Again, beauty can only get you so far.

I've listened and watched their YouTube video's, video diary's and thought 'WOW, the chemistry between these girls is amazing'. I also listened to their first official single entitled 'All The Boyz' which features grime artist Scorcher. Take a listen to it.


At the moment there isn't a girl group out there doing the whole Pop/R&B music. With a deep base and catchy chorus, 'All The Boyz' just might fill up a dance floor. However, I personally am not excited about this song.

After hearing their A64 of 'Dont Ever Come Back' on SB.TV, I was amazed that they chose 'All The Boyz' as their single. Understandable, your first single has to come out with a bang but there's people like me who appreciate good music and don't get phased by something a label might think is a banger but really is just commercial. I am still waiting for a girl group to show me something different. Yes Duchess might have the looks and the beautiful vocals to match, but will they be as different and make a difference in girl band history like the Spice Girls did? We just have to wait and see. In the mean time listen to 'Dont Ever Come Back' right here.
