Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
Great album
This is one of the best albums I have purchased in a long time. She is amazingly talented! I am so sad about her personal life and the road she is on. It can only end in disaster, which would be such a loss to her family and the music world.

stunning...
"Back to Black," Amy Winehouse's second CD and first to be released in the U.S. is about as good as they come. Great vocals, songwriting, production, instrumentation, and most importantly, it's the most original CD to be released in a long time. "Rehab," "You Know I'm No Good, "Tears Dry On Their Own," "Love Is A Losing Game," and the title track, are superb singles, man the whole CD is. You feel her heart when she sings. She gutsy, funny, stoned, miserable, happy, and just about every emotion that comes to mind over the 11 tracks on this CD. I hope Amy puts her personal demons behind her because music needs her. She is way too talented of an artist to let other things stand in her way. Talent like hers doesn't come around everyday. She only deserves the best!

Foreign version, sound choppy
The first few bars of "Rehab" are missing and the clarity of sound is mediocre.

back to black
what talent and shes only just begun!!!What a story finding her way thru my space. doors have opened for artists that would not have a voice otherwise. Amy Winehouse you rock,i believe only a tortured spirt could make music as intense and BEAUTIFUL.

New old soul
This CD harkens back to Stax, Mowtown and the Funk Brothers. Great stuff. The Parental Advisory is necessary, though - don't let your kids listen too closely to the lyrics.
