Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for years. Frank, her first album, was a sparse and stripped-down affair; Back to Black, meanwhile, is neither of these things. This time around, she's taken her inspiration from some of the classic 1960's girl groups like the Supremes and the Shangri-Las, a sound particularly suited to her textured vocal delivery, while adding a contemporary songwriting sensibility. With the help of producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, "Rehab" becomes a gospel-tinged stomp, while the title track (and album highlight) is a heartbreaking musical tribute to Phil Spector, with it's echoey bass drum, rhythmic piano, chimes, saxophone and close harmonies. Best of all, though, is the fact that Back to Black bucks the current trend in R&B by being unabashedly grown-up in both style and content. Winehouse's lyrics deal with relationships from a grown-up perspective, and are honest, direct and, often, complicated: on "You Know I'm No Good", she's unapologetic about her unfaithfulness. But she can also be witty, as on "Me & Mrs Jones" when she berates a boyfriend with "You made me miss the Slick Rick gig". Back to Black is a refreshingly mature soul album, the best of its kind for years. --Ted Kord


CD Description

'Back To Black' is the second album from London-based chanteuse Amy Winehouse. Combining a strong, jazzy vocal style with often frank lyrical content recounting tales of love and loss, Winehouse is a truly talented songwriter with a good ear for melody, making this album an essential purchase. Includes the single 'Rehab'.

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece and future classic, 21 Sep 2007
There is probably very little I can contribute to the reviews of this superlative album that hasn't already been said, but I adore 'Back to Black' so much that I couldn't resist adding my voice to the crowd. So here goes...

It's not unusual for me to come across an album I find enjoyable - excellent, even. Nor is it out of the ordinary for me to listen to a set of tracks over and over again, and recommend them to everyone I know. What IS uncommon is the discovery of a record that I honestly believe is destined to be regarded as a classic, that will be listened to and revered for many years to come. Amy Winehouse's second collection of songs is such an album; and what's more, I won't qualify that statement with an 'in my view' because I believe it to be fact, not opinion.

Nearly every track is good enough to stand on its own as a single. Everyone's heard the ubiquitous 'Rehab', but there's much more to this album than that (admittedly brilliant) song. The title track is a bitter, broken-hearted anthem. 'Love is a Losing Game' is exquisite and poetic. 'Wake Up Alone' is similarly beautiful, evocative, and passionate. Even less meaningful tracks, like 'Addicted', are brimming with honesty, attitude and bittersweet humour. The lyrics are incredible - I don't think I've ever come across any artist able to articulate the pain of loss and love so perfectly. The production is second to none; the album has a Motown-influenced, 1960s-girl-group sound, but it's all still unmistakeably 'now', and the result is a record that sounds like it will never date. The soulful style suits Winehouse's magnificent, unrivalled voice perfectly.

It's almost a year since this album was released, and there's been nothing to better it since; it's testament to its power that Winehouse's much-publicised personal traumas haven't prevented her music achieving endless accolades. 'Back to Black' is nothing short of a masterpiece, and it's most definitely a record that everyone should have in their collection. If you don't yet own it and you're still reading this, what are you waiting for? Buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Brilliance!, 14 Feb 2007
By John Cassidy "johnboy" (greater manchester) - See all my reviews
Now then,what have we here? The latest from our Amy,no less!Back to Black is the best album I have heard in the past few months(and I've heard a few!)My teenage son picked this up for me from HMV in Manchester,and it has rarely left my stereo since I received it with quivering hands and pounding heart!

It's probably pointless to list favourite songs as every single track is fabulous.My Tears Dry On Their Own is a particular standout as is the ballsy single "Rehab"!Love Is A Losing game is also superb and,if the stories are true,was written by Amy in just half an hour or so yet is a superb melancholy track.

The good thing about Amy's music is that it defies categorisation,and all kinds of influences can be heard in the tracks,from sixties soul/pop to gritty blues/jazz.A superb,lasting piece of work.Even better than the first!! You go,girl!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantasmagorical!!!, 17 April 2007
I bought this album about 6 weeks ago and it is absolutely fantastic, it hasn't left my CD player since. It's one of those rare albums that's appropriate for any occassion; whether you're unwinding before you go to bed, waking yourself up in the morning, getting ready for a night out, as a soundtrack for an angry day or to have something to cry to. Upbeat and perky, Winehouse manages to combine soulful with raw grit, swinging between melancholy to unapologetic soul bearing to seemingly arrogant. 'Back to Black' demonstrates perfectly why she's one of the most successful ,unrivalled female artists in the UK today, definately scores higher than 'Frank'.
