Painting the Silence

I thought I might post a few videos from VH1s JumpStart. This is what I watch when it’s 5 o’clock in the morning and I’m awake and can’t get back to sleep. Anyway, the first one is “Mercy,” the second single off Duffy’s debut album, Rockferry. The next is “Apologize” from the [...]
