Amy Winehouse – Back To Black (US Cover)

Soul. Sex. Voice!

Amy Winehouse is the modern reincarnation of the famous 60s Soul divas. An incredibly smoky, deep voice sings pure soul - contemporary produced by the hip hop legend Mark Ronson.

At 18 Amy Winehouse signed her first contract with Island Records, her second album "Back To Black" just entered number 3 of the UK charts

Already Amy Winehouse's debut album "Frank" (2004) reached platinum, received 3 nominations for the Brit Awards and the Mercury Music Prize, which made the 19-year-old one of the most successful young artists of the year

Amy Winehouse's music has a very own melodic style and encompasses the genres of pop, soul, jazz, hip hop and blues. Amy's main characteristic is undoubtedly her gifted and unusually mature voice (for her 20 years).

The album "Back To Black" was completely written by Amy Winehouse herself, produced by van Salaam Remi (who also worked on the debut album "Frank") and the New Yorker Mark Ronson (Lily Allen, Robbie Williams and Christina Aguilera).

Reviews

T. Weiland in Musikexpress 4 / 07: "The trend towards retro soul continues. A great thing when old-fashioned influences are celebrated as grandly as a timeless opera experience as here."
