Editorial Review:

Album Description:
Hailed by Newsweek Magazine as a cross between Billie Holiday and Lauryn Hill, British soul singer Amy Winehouse's U.S. debut, Back To Black hits the US amid a flurry of accolades, radio and TV buzz unprecedented in recent years for a young siren.

Her brassy mix of emotive vocals tinged with 60's girl-group stylings, sly funk, and anguished jazz, sparked the New York Daily News to crown Back To Black a 'marvelous debut that would do Etta James proud' while New Yorker Magazine called her 'a fierce English performer whose voice combines the smoky depths of a jazz chanteuse with the heated passion of a soul singer,' and Spin Magazine affirming 'there's never been A British star quite like her.'

Back To Black smolders with a bristling fusion of old school doo-wop/soul inflected uprisings, (the charismatic singer/songwriter wrote or co-wrote all of the songs on the album) brewing instant classics such as the Shirley Ellis influenced 'Rehab,' the Supremes tinged title song 'Back To Black,' the aching 'Wake Up Alone,' and the album's closer, 'Addicted.'

- Forget all the dissection...it just sounds so damned good.
I have grown so weary of people dissecting this album for flaws, repetitive beats, retro-ness, and the like. And I am especially sick and tired of people confusing this amazing artist's life with her art. Is Van Gogh's work any less important, or is it in any sense less amazing, because he had such bad emotional problems that he cut off his ear and shot himself in the chest twice--killing himself at 36? NO, NO, NO!

I don't care how the artist, producers, button pushers, chalkboard scrapers, or anyone else involved in the making of the recording achieved the sound when it is this amazing. In my estimation, what really matters at the end of the day, is the way an album sounds, and this one is off the charts!

The songs on this album run the gamut from suicidal to exhilarated, playful to provocative, old school to new school, fawning to tempting, without ever skipping a beat. And then there ... Read More

- The most amazing album I have bought or heard yet
Now, my parents made me buy the CLEAN version and really that's the only downside to this album: the clean. The explicit is so exciting and good it's so awesome. Anyways, Amy is an amazing artist and the songs are so catchy and good, I can't stop listening.

The only other problem with the album which is not that big of a deal is that every track is depressing. There isn't anything about getting together, it's all about breaking up and cheating and drugs. But the thing the depressingness so "not so big" is that they were all written from her heart and what she believes in.

An amazing album by an amazing singer. The beat to the songs go so great with her voice and it makes the songs sound great.

- GOTTA LOVE 'ER
I really like this music, and if you like Amy, you gotta like this one. Highly recommended for Amy fans. If you haven't heard her, give her a try--she's a very talented artist. A little crazy, maybe, but aren't we all?

- Great on every level
I first heard of Amy Winehouse as a drunken idiot who consistently fouled up live performances. But I kept hearing about her.

This record is a revelation. The best album of the last 15 years. Amy Winehouse is a drunken fool the same way Janis Joplin was. Amy Winehouse has the talent to be the best soul vocalist of this era - if she lives.
