Album Notes
It doesn't take much listening to Amy Winehouse's 1960s pop period piece to realize that this is a tribute with an edge--nice girls back then didn't sing about boozing and rehab. Since her 2003 debut album, FRANK, Winehouse has been a frequent presence on the gossip pages of the U.K. tabloids, and her songwriting here candidly reflects her experiences with drinking, sex, and drugs.BACK TO BLACK's production is an artful blend of sophisticated '60s R&B and 21st-century stylistic poaching, with "Tears Dry on Their Own" incorporating elements of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," and Winehouse sounding like Billie Holiday fronting a reggae band on the old-fashioned cheating song "Just Friends." Densely packed with musical history and often conjuring a dark, Portishead-esque atmosphere, BACK TO BLACK is a sumptuous-sounding collection freighted with blunt confessionals of a lush life.

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 -- Winehouse is a nervy, witty songstress whom indie rockers, pop fans and hip-hoppers can dig.

Words cannot describe this album other than it is probably the best soul album ever recorded. it has everything,jazz,soul,a bit of reggae, pop,hints of rock,bits of love ballads, everything.

Here are reviews of all the songs on Back To Black:
1- Rehab:one of the best jazz songs that ever existed! a really great first single, and after 7 months, it is stil storming the charts!-5/5

2-You Know I'm No Good-one of the best r+b songs ever.great instruments used,great vocals, and another chart topper.-5/5

3- Me And Mr.Jones-a very good soul song.not the best song on the whole album, but definately worth a go!-3/5

4: Just Friends-a great,relaxing,summery feel song-4/5

5: Back To Black- one of the best songs on the album.the 3rd single, but didnt do as well as the other 2 singles.what a shame :(-5/5

6:Love Is A Losing Game-really tells the dark truth about love.hoping for it to be a single. a really great soul song-4/5

7:Tears Dry On Their Own-set out to be the 4th single.a really great soul/jazz song.-5/5

8:Wake Up Alone-great beat,great vocals,catchy,has all the things that make up a good r+b song-4/5

9: Some Unholy War-a good song,but probably not going to be a single.give it a go though :) -3/5

10: He Can Only Hold Her-a good popish/jazzy song-4/5

11: Addicted-a good bonus track.not the best on the album though worth a go-3/5

The maturity and raw honesty of the lyrics is breathtaking. The vocal delivery is outstanding; mellow, thoughtful, soulful, Winehouse manages to convey a level of emotion and realism that is rarely achieved by solo, female artists. This is an adult album which deals with grown-up subject matter - and Winehouse should not be made to apologise for this.

It's almost uncomfortably intimate even within the mass appeal it has attracted.

Long may you run, Amy. This absolutely rules!!!

This second album from Amy Winehouse is a fine piece of work, "Rehab" stands out along with "Tears dry on their own", but all the tracks are good.
When I first heard Amy on the radio I thought she was a sixties artist I'd never heard of, on this album she mixes the best of the old and the new with fantastic results.
