11:12 PM 2006 Amy Winehouse - Back To Black 1. Rehab Album Version 2. You Know I'm No Good 3. Me & Mr Jones (Fuckery) 4. Just Friends 5. Back To Black 6. Love Is A Losing Game 7. Tears Dry On Their Own 8. Wake Up Alone 9. Some Unholy War 10. He Can Only Hold Her 11. Addicted SAVE Amazon.co.uk Review Amy Winehouse's second album, Back to Black, is one of the finest soul albums, British or otherwise, to come out for 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 current trend 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 ------------------------ 2006 Amos Lee - Supply and Demand 1. Shout Out Loud 2. Sympathize 3. Freedom 4. Careless 5. Skipping Stone 6. Supply And Demand 7. Sweet Pea 8. Night Train 9. Southern Girl 10. Wind, The 11. Long Line Of Pain save This, in my opinion, is Amos Lee's better album out of his two. The first was great but quite subdued and relaxed and although this one also has some great ballads, I believe he displays a bit more soul and funk to his songs this time around. Its definitely got a bit more life to it. Would recommend "Arms of a Woman" on his first album. On this one my faves are "Freedom", "Careless" and "Southern Girl". Try him out if you have never heard of him. I am hooked! |
