Song Listing
It's been a fantastic few months for Amy since the release, at the end of October '06, of her anthemic single ""Rehab"". ""Rehab"" entered the chart at no. 7 and was followed by ""Back to Black"" which was released to universal acclaim and finished the year topping many end of year polls. A second single, ""You Know I'm No Good"", featuring Ghostface Killah, was released in January and gave Amy her second big hit. Two Brit nominations, a South Bank Show award and an Elle Style award followed before Amy scooped the British Best Female last week at Earl's Court. Amy's live shows feature songs drawn from her platinum debut ""Frank"" and ""Back to Black"". ""Frank"" established Amy as one of the most exciting and challenging artists in pop music, and ""Back to Black"" proves, beyond any reasonable or unreasonable doubt, what a truly remarkable talent she is. Winehouse's song-writing and fearlessness as a lyric writer has been grafted onto some of the most astonishing material of her short career so far. ""Back to Black"" sees her teaming up once again with ""Frank"" producer Salaam Remi and, for the first time, with New Yorker Mark Ronson (Lily Allen, Robbie Williams and Christina Aguilera)."|"Amy Winehouse

Years before Amy Winehouse garnered international attention with BACK TO BLACK, the sassy British soul singer put herself on the U.K. music map with her 2003 debut, FRANK. Nominated for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, the record glides along on the subtly jazzy production of Salaam Remi, which allows Winehouse's expressive voice, strongly influenced by Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington, to shine, particularly on the trip-hop-tinged "Stronger Than Me," the powerful "You Sent Me Flying," and the sultry "I Heard Love Is Blind." Although not quite as consistent or daring as her subsequent album, FRANK is an impressive first outing that should win over anyone swooning from BACK TO BLACK. |
