Winner of Five 2008 Grammy Awards including Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance & Best Pop Vocal Album

Amy Winehouse s second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out in 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 trends 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!
