Back to Black
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."

- BAD PACKING
The vinyl was not correctly packed, i don't know if they couldn't find a proper box in Amazon or wherever was packed and sent, so the record would comfortably fit in there; when i got the package, the vinyl nearly fitted in the box so it...

- Winey House
This album is terrible. Winehouse grabs her attention by being a druggie, not showing up at gigs, and by being just plain weird. Her voice and music are lame. I can't believe people buy her music. There are a whole lot of better...

- I keep going back to this excellent album
I love this album. I keep playing it over and over again, and it never gets old. The rest of the album is just as good as the radio tracks. This is the kind of album that I've been wishing for years that Christina Aguilera would record:...

- musically brilliant
Back to black is so brilliant musically, both Amy's songs and her performance of them. The only weak spot is the use of needlessly explicit lyrics, for example in Me and Mr. Jones, "mockery" would have been so much more timeless than...

- Amazing Artist, Too Explicit
I got this for my husband who is a fan. We really love Amy's retro style and unique vocals. I should have paid more attention to the explicit lyrics warning. We can't listen to this with kids in the house. It's just too much. I love the...
