Duffy makes music comeback with "Something Beautiful" but says she isn't releasing it

Last month, Duffy broke her silence on socials to reveal that she had been away for years after being "raped and drugged and held captive over some days."

Since initially speaking about the traumatic event, Duffy has decided to share a new track titled "Something Beautiful", but it's only available to stream on BBC Radio 2 after the singer/songwriter revealed she had sent the track to host Jo Whiley in the hope she would play it for "people on radio during these troubling times, if you like the song of course. If it lifts spirits."

In Duffy's message to Whiley, she reveals she's found it difficult to speak about her experience, "Tried to follow up with a spoken interview, but it’s harder than I thought, I will follow up in writing soon."

Duffy adds, "I don’t plan to release it, I just thought a little something might be nice for people if they are at home, on lockdown."

Hi Jo (Whiley) Hope you are well and keeping safe. Wanted to send you this to play on the radio, if you want. You may have read the words I wrote a few weeks back, I do feel freer. Tried to follow up with a spoken interview, but it’s harder than I thought, I will follow up in writing soon. Universal Music & no one knows I am doing this. They won’t be mad, they are lovely people. So here’s a song … here’s “Something Beautiful”. It’s just something for you to play people on radio during these troubling times, if you like the song of course. If it lifts spirits. I don’t plan to release it, I just thought a little something might be nice for people if they are at home, on lockdown. Duffy x
