Back To Black

Very jazzy, last half was better than the first

CAN NEever go wrong with this album

Listening session: june 5th, while buying groceries Listened to before: listened to this album many times before Thoughts: an absolute classic album that I’ve listened to many times. The combination of Amy Winehouse’s soulful voice, Mark Ronson’s great production and the timeless songwriting is really special Favourite tracks: Back To Black, Love Is A Losing Game & Tears Dry On Their Own

Unique voice. Pleasant music. And a bunch of hits. A strong effort although it is not exactly my jam. 3,5

Surprised by how much I loved every song here. Back to Black and Rehab are great, but all these others really impressed. Wow!

Surprised how much I enjoyed this. Appreciated her Motown girl group sound. Liked almost every song.

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Back To Black, He Can Only Hold Her, Addicted. Just some loose thoughts for this one: - it's weird that I've somehow managed to have never heard any of Amy's music before. - it's equally weird that the person singing is the same person on the cover of the album. The voice just don't match the person, in my head. - it makes me sad to think about all of Amy's potential talent being... just gone. Forever. What could she have done in the past however many years if she were still alive. I think about that stuff from time to time. - overall I was impressed, mostly by the singing, but also the musical style/approach. A few tracks had catchy beats, which I liked, and I always appreciate when the subject matter is serious, mature themes and critiques.

Back to Black has to be my favourite track here.

oye por favor que quiero cosas nuevas

Man she just had "it". And the sad part is I know her best was still in front of her. This usually isn't my wheelhouse but her voice and personality is just undeniable. 8/10

Another poor young soul lost way too early. I have never sat down and listen to here but always knew she was something special. Reminiscent of old time jazz singers. Probably even thinking of giving this 4 stars. Several great songs here and of course great production, instrumentation and most important - Amy's great vocal delivery.

THEY TRIED TO MAKE ME GO TO REHAB

I liked it. Never was a fan when she was still around, but I have to admit, I missed out. Good album.

1. Rehab 8/10 2. You know I'm no good 9/10 3. Me & Mr.Jones 6/10 4. Just friends 5/10 5. Back to Black 10/10 iconic 6. Love is a Losing Game 8/10 7. Tears dry on their own 10/10 8. Wake up alone 5/10 9. Some Unholy War 6/10 10. He Can Only Hold Her 7/10 A bit more unique 11. Addicted Doesn't feel like a 2006 album, most of the songs just sound the same

It's almost haunting to revisit this album. I was an Amy fan back in the day, and was pretty affected when she died. Hearing these songs, so achingly self destructive, fills me with a kind of melancholy for the things she could have accomplished had she lived, as well as for the person I was back in the early 2000s. All of the emotional stuff aside, it is a wonderful album, with her signature voice underset by the impeccable playing of the proto-Daptone crew. I should definitely revisit some of her other stuff, it's got me in a funky mood. 4.5/5.

modern classic

She has the voice, she's messy, but passionate. And we all know ill take messy for purpose.

Such a talented artist with a life that was far too short. 🤍🤍 I like the album though!!

4.1/5 i like debut better but just as good for a follow up more jazzy

Overall Rating - 4.18/5 (8.36/10). Damn, that voice is incredible. Bluesy, 50s and 60s rock feel. Right up my alley.

That was objectively a good album.

I enjoyed this album a lot. I know the hits very well, of course, but it was great to listen closely to the lesser-known songs that don't get the attention they deserve. So talented and unique. 4/5

Amazing

I never listened to her when she was popular, although I was aware of her. Her sound is more “old fashioned” than I imagined. I liked it.

Solid album

A marked improvement over Frank, the songwriting has improved, her voice is incredible of course, and the production is phenomenal. The only song I was iffy on was "Just Friends" cause I wasn't too into the slight dub influence on the instrumental, it felt out of place for her. I also wish the album ended with a stronger batch of songs, but overall this record is pretty awesome.

kinda iconic. not my favourite and its not super outstanding. it has its skips but the good songs outweigh the bad ones such that im giving it a 4.

Felt a bit sad to receive this album, but what a throwback to hearing “Rehab” for the first time. Amy was (RIP) such a talented vocalist and the album was so fun to listen to. She is so rare and I don’t think we’ve had anyone quite like her since.

Very bluesy sound, her voice is beautiful and unique. The subject matters of the album are melancholic and her voice fits them very well

Super bekend album. Altijd leuk

Maybe 3.5. It’s about as good as I remember in the high spots. But it’s not all there.

Pretty good I already knew back to black song

This really needs a remaster but it doesn't even matter because the arrangements themselves are great and the songs are beautiful.

Pop and soul of 60s girl groups Rehab You know i'm no good

I know the singles well as they soundtracked the era so a nice nostalgia trip. Did not really get on with Frank - but this album is a much more commercial sounding - with a very retro soul vibe which is a much easier listen. Great voice/ great production.

She is so solid.

Great voice and soulful songs with good arrangements.

This was surprisingly ok, in fact I quite enjoyed the faster tracks. 😊

This album is a masterpiece

Uniquely powerful voice. My first time listening through the entire album. It’s good - not really my style, and some of the songwriting wasn’t the best, but definitely worth a listen.

it's 3.75

this is one of my favorite albums ever my favorite songs of it include wakeup alone me and mr jones and unholy war. amys voice is my favorite and as someone that likes singing her songs are fun to sing to and fit my range this album is a 9/10 i love it alot.

okejka

This is much better than the other one

it was pretty good, just not totally my vibe. some pretty good songs tho

Just an incredible album all the way through. This was not what I expected at all! My sister said that this is one of her favorite albums right now, so I decided to check it out, and it did not disappoint. Her voice was so beautiful, and she had so much potential. RIP Favorite Songs: Love is A Losing Hand, Back to Black, Me & Mr Jones Least Favorite Songs: Some Unholy War, Rehab

Soy bastante fan de Winehouse, y este albúm (aunque escuché el Deluxe), me parece muy bueno, con muchas buenas canciones.

Emotional album, great production, good blending of genres for a unique and strong musical achievement. Not quite reaching the peak for me, but I get the love.

It's very stylish, maybe a bit repetitive in some parts.

When Amy was at peak popularity, I just really didn't like her. Rehab was so overplayed. Now, 20 years removed, I can appreciate her talent and the production of this album. I love the instrumentation. It is SURELY better than most of the garbage on this list. 4* Highlights: you know i'm no good, back to black

It would be difficult to find someone who couldnt find something to love about this album. For me, I love the strength in her vocals despite the fraility of her words and being. Her vocal power definitely help cover up the pain from her experiences. In a cheesy way, this album makes me feel like a badass who can keep tackling things as they come. Favorite- Love Is A Losing Game

A great album for any day but the day I listened the morning was cool and gloomy. Love Amy's voice and attitude. This is an easy album to listen all the way through. Favorite song was all of them but if I had to pick one, Back to Black.

Really great album overall. Her voice and the production are incredible. A lot of these tracks are classics. Favorite track(s) Rehab Back To Black Tears Dry On Their Own

7/10

Люблю Эми, что ещё сказать.

Great 2000s neo soul with frank discussions if addition and heart break. I was too young to hear this as a kid, but I love it

It is interesting that both of Amy Winehouse’s albums are included on this list, I would say this is her definitive album. Troubled, and short-lived, this album was major and definitely deserves inclusion.

really wish she'd have said Yes, great voice with unique character; i'd have enjoyed getting more releases from Amy 4/5

Listen a liot to this back in the day, but only now appreciate the amazing instrumentals. Some duds on this album but overall so very good

I listened to this album a lot when it dropped. But this was probably my first full listen in 20 years. Amy’s vocal prowess is undeniable, and they definitely capture that Motown sound with an updated twist. But with all that said, it was not slapping for me the way I thought it would. The single tracks, Tears Dry on Their Own, Back to Black, and Rehab all are phenomenal and everything else was pretty good. Going 3.50/5.

It's a good album, i just never vibed with it

I don't have a whole lot to say about this. I liked it. Didn't love it. 3.5/5. RIP Amy, I wish she would have been able to make more music

She's got a great voice; lots of iconic songs here, what's not to love? I thought the retro doo-wop style of a lot of the tracks was a fun touch.

More blue eyed soul from Amy Winehouse. Strong vocals and lyrics on this, her second and final studio album. Good backing instruments and arrangements, very listenable album. Almost a dark pall over this record, less fun to sing Rehab knowing how she died. Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, and Back To Black all strong tracks. Where I said in my review of Frank that the immaturity was apparent, the immaturity is apparently gone and a strong album gets delivered. Apparently the 2nd best selling record of the 21st century. Good stuff.

It’s tough to listen to this album without feeling sadness for how Amy Winehouse’s story ended, especially on the opener, “Rehab.” The album does have an indisputably enjoyable swagger about it and the songs are strong and impeccably-produced. Amy’s vocals and lyrics are another highlight… though sometimes the bluntness feels a little incongruous with music that wouldn’t have been out of place in the 1960s. Back to Black itself is a highlight, along with Love Is A Losing Game — probably my favorite pairing on the record. Maybe “Me & Mr Jones” is a slightly weak spot, but the album is strong throughout with no filler. Maybe there’s something a little too slick about the whole thing that keeps me at a slight distance. It’s a very good record that I wouldn’t mind hearing again.

Not looking forward to it to be honest. Let's see. I already know at least 4 songs on it and I'm not a big fan. I was wrong, Rehab I'm not a fan but the others are good. Really enjoyed overall. 4/5.

Damn what a good album. I’m torn between the 4 and 5 here. Love the couple of songs that sample older R&B grooves. And the sax on “you know that I’m no good” is such a classic. Think I’m gonna settle for a 4 but is really a 4.5. Second half of the album just doesn’t compare with the first. Fave songs: you know I’m no good, Tears Dry on Their Own

I've listened to this one before, great

Back to black is a classic, Amy wine houses voice is just iconic. I love when singers use Jazz-phrasing. The album has some of her best songs on it.

Fun mix of old style and modern content

Another one that I thought I would like more. Obviously Rehab is great, along with a few others, but I just wasn’t obsessed. I’d play it again for sure, I just thought I’d like everything as much as I like Rehab

I liked it. Good vibe.

Back To Black Amy Winehouse es un álbum que me gustó bastante evidentemente no tengo nada más que decir que cosas buenas me gusta mucho su voz como canta y evidentemente el impacto que tuvo este álbum

que voz de la puta madre, un poco oscuro pero vulnerable

I like Amy Winehouse a lot, but I have to admit I’ve never quite gotten the “voice of a generation” thing. My read is that she embraced a particular style, owned the fuck out of it, while also adding her own spin. And that spin is my favorite part. You can’t listen to any of her songs without feeling how difficult it must have been to be her. I empathize with that a lot, even if we don’t have the same vices. But at the same time, the style hits some sort of limit with me. I reacted the same way about a week ago when I got the Marty Robbins album. He understands the task completely — it’s the only cowboy album you’ll ever need. And he also adds a kind of Cold War menace that isn’t there with more nostalgic takes. I’d absolutely assign Marty Robbins to a class learning about American culture in 1959… and I’d assign Amy Winehouse to understand music in the 2010s. Do I ever want to pick it up now though? I’d be slightly more likely to listen to Amy than Marty, which is what makes this tough. I completely understand how it would be a 5 for someone, but for me it sits with the 4 albums that I greatly admire but don’t love until the end of time.

This is so good. It's impossible to say with artists like this if we could have the highs without the lows that we're built in to them from the start. Probably not, but man were we robbed of so much potential.

"Back to Black" is the second and final studio album by English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse. Soul, R&B, contemporary R&B, neo soul and pop are the Wiki-listed genres. The album lyrics are based on Winehouse's tumultuous relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil, who temporarily left her to pursue an ex-girlfriend with themes of guilt, grief, heartbreak and trauma in a relationship. Winehouse collaborated with producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson along with Sharon Jones' band, the Dap-Kings, to create the sound. Winehouse sang the vocals and played guitar. The album was recorded in NYC, Miami and London with nearly 50 people who contributed as musicians, singers, producers and/or arrangers. Commercially, the album hit #1 in the UK and #2 in the US and had wide-spread acclaim. In 2025, it was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress for its artistic significance. The album opens with "Rehab." Drum ticks and handclaps. Winehouse enters with her unique and soulful vocals. Horn fills, a piano and strings. 60's-ish backing vocals. A song about her refusal to enter an alcohol rehab center after a conversational with her father. Drum beats and a roll begin "You Know I'm No Good." And, in fact, I would say Homer Steinweiss' drums are the lead instrument. More horns and piano. A distinct mystery feel and Roger Moore is even mentioned. Amy cheating herself out of a healthy relationship. And the relationship situation flips in the self-titled "Back to Black" as Amy's experiences her boyfriend leaving her for another girl. Haunting piano keys and a plodding bass and drums. Strings eventually come in as the song gets louder to the end. Winehouse proves that she deliver in ballads as well. "Love Is a Losing Game." Drums lead to piano, strings and electric guitar. Amy realizes love can be destructive and addictive as well. Given that is 4/20 day, it is appropriate the album ends with "Addicted." Amy's boyfriend is stealing her weed so she starts to grow her own. A whimsical tone with a wobbly guitar and quite soulful. Horns and we get a flute. Winehouse has quite the unique and soulful voice. The lyrics can be deeply personnel but also quite clever and humorous. Lots of pop culture references. The music is retro harking back to the 50's, 60's and 70's backing vocals, soul and R&B with elements of reggae, jazz and ska. Great production and mixing by Remi and Ronson. Top notch musicianship. Amy Winehouse was a unique talent showcased on this album with music to match. An obvious strong recommendation.

I never really heard much of Amy Winehouse except for Rehab, yet I really enjoyed this album. She has an amazing voice and the music in this album was very good. I might even go as far as to say the Rehab is the song I liked the least on this album, although it could be due to the fact that I have heard it a lot. It definitely gives a 60s Motown sound, which is what she was going for, and I can appreciate when old music becomes new again.

Full Hits album!

I’m going to be honest and say that I did not expect to like this. I didn’t listen to Winehouse when she was alive and was at best ambivalent when she died. This album blew my socks off. I don’t know what I was expecting, but it’s an absolute shame that such a talent had her life taken by addiction.

Là c'est dommage de s'être suicidée parce que c'était vraiment très bien

This is a solid album! So many hits, and the ones that didn't chart are still really good. It's a shame we lost her too soon. (4)

I didn't really enjoy the previous Amy Winehouse album (frank) but this was great.

Highlights: Rehab, You Know I’m No Good, Love Is a Losing Game, Back To Black and Tears Dry On Their Own. 4.4

1. Rehab: Cabra esta mujer, arranca más arriba de lo que suele ser sus temas. 7/10 2. You Know I´m No Good: Aura, muy tipico suyo ya el tema. 7,5/10 3. Me & Mr Jones: Gran Jazzito, me gusta. 8/10 4. Just Friends: Acá baja un poquito, pero sigue siendo una gran música de fondo y agradable al oído (se valora). 6/10 5. Back to Black: hace falta decir algo? 10/10 6. Love Is a Losing Game: me gustooo. 8,5/10 7. Tears Dry On Their Own: Sigue su ritmo. 7,5/10 8. Wake Up Alone: 7,5/10 9. Some Unholy War: 7/10 10. He Can Only Hold Her: 7,5/10 11. Addicted: 7/10 Nota General: Esta piba es la cabra. Un Jazzito super tranka, agradable al oído, con un GRAN tema como es Back To Black, y otros buenos temas que cumplen. Nota: 8/10

Voix de fou et des sons emblématiques déjà ds ma playlist

That was actually pretty nice to listen to

This album starts off with such an iconic song, but I don't know if the rest of the songs live up to the expectations... However, I would still give this a solid rating and give it a 4/5

She’s great. Her voice has depth. The songs feel genuine.

Amy had so much swag and charisma. A perfect blend of throwback and freshness. 4/5.

Bueno

😔

Mixed feelings here. On one hand, it's a positively beautiful record. It's sweet, it's nasty, it's soulful, the production is unimpeachable, and Winehouse's vocals are killer every time. It's everything you'd want in a genre like soul. But I have a hard time separating it from the fact that it's a white woman effectively colonizing a historically black style of music. I guess it depends on who you ask. Fans will say she's "paying homage" to her idols, while deriders will say she's a "ripoff" or a "hack." And she suffered those deriders for her entire adult life before she succumbed to her vices. She was exploited, harassed, stabbed in the back, and treated like a plaything. A month before her death, at her last performance, she was booed off the stage by her fans. I cannot imagine the mortifying humiliation she must have felt. But if I wanted to, I could just look at any of the pictures that people took of her at her lowest moments. You have to love her. You have to.

Fave songs - back to black, wake up alone

Amy Winehouse has such an iconic voice, and the 60s style backing here really suits it. I don't have any problem with the fact that she chose to do an "old" style - it's what she liked and she does it well. Not all "modern" music has to be completely homogeneous; it's was quite refreshing to listen to something with a saxophone as a primary backing instrument. Not sure I need a whole album of Amy in one hit, but I enjoyed this listen. I tried to pay closer attention to the tracks I knew, since they've always been fairly passive listens in the past, and I found them to be pretty deeply layered and interesting. I enjoyed the instrumentation and I enjoyed the vocals. Classic album that deserves a place on this list.

Powerful and gripping vocals with a great band. Excellent listening and vibe. Old school female vocals.

Really like this album. Consistently good throughout

Great album. One or two songs I didn't love otherwise it would be a 5 star

I have not heard much of Amy, but I know most of the songs in this album. Great pick!

Incredible vocals. She was truly the best of her time.

Great album! She had an amazing voice and style.

So good. I already knew some of the songs because they’re total bops, but as a whole it felt like a really complete album, super chill overall.

A genuinely refreshing update on classic sounds. The Dap-Kings are the glue, providing a complete sound and impeccable arrangements seemingly out of the box, though Ronson’s choice to mix the rhythm section like a hip hop record is largely responsible for how modern it all sounds. Both would be nothing without Amy’s fantastic songs, with their candid, black humor and very real pathos.

This is a great album, but it's hard to listen to b/c sad.

this one was the most popular so far, but nah for me. Sounds great, but ig if I will have an addicted obsessed era i will remember this Edit: fuck it got me

Brings me back to Christmas 2006. My mum got my Grandma this as a present and we played it all day. Quite timeless despite it being a throwback sounding album. There’s obviously some amazing tunes on here, I do think the deeper cuts are slightly weaker. But a great collection nonetheless. Such a shame we never got album 3.

So good. She has the perfect voice for the retro crooner style. Back to Black is a near perfect song IMO.

A heartbreaking album, her voice is so haunting and you can hear the anguish in it

A really interesting album for the times amidst pop punk, RnB, and early 2000s pop one of the best jazz singers crops up with this album, if your not into jazz music start with this album

9/10

Muy buen disco, esa musica que seduce y una voz que enamora... Hermoso

Soul, Rock, 2006 -> 4

Me emociona empezar con este disco. Hay canciones que ya conocía porque de este de desprenden varios hits de Amy, pero hay varias de las que no tenía idea. Me gusta mucho su estilo vocal, es muy particular. También el ritmo está interesante, porque son canciones tranquilas, pero no aburridas. La canción que le da el título es preciosa, hasta el momento es la más oscura/triste y me gusta porque suena genuina. Love is a losing game is sooo real man, otra canción que me encanta! Tears dry on their own me parece cool y me emociona escuchar el registro más grave de mi íntima amiga Amy 💅🏻 Cómo carajos nadie supo que ella la estaba pasando de la chingada si escribía canciones como Wake up alone?! Soy yo o Some unholy war es la primera canción del álbum que tiene un coro en forma de réplica a la melodía principal? Estoy tratando de no juzgar el que las letras sean sobre un hombre, pero ese ya es problema mío supongo. He can only hold her se parece mucho a las canciones del inicio. La verdad no me gusta mucho, aunque rescato que escriba sobre terceras personas aunque muy probablemente hablé de ella misma, pero eso es sujeto a interpretación. Ok Addicted es la última, el álbum es corto. Creo que el título es muy literal al decir que es adicta porque según entiendo trata sobre su gusto por las plantas if you know what I mean. Me gusta su voz y como cambia entre ponerle un chingo de twang y en partes oscurecer su tono, parece que ese es su sello. Conclusión: lo más interesante es su voz, tener una temática y estilo decadente. Mi canción favorita es Love is a losing game, seguida de Back to black.

The title track is fire brings back memories and so does rehab. It’s weird. I remember hearing this album a lot in the early 2000s growing up and then we all know she passed away too soon so far enjoyed it but only the main songs that made her popular. you know I’m no good is also a good playlist submission. along with back to Black. and love is a losing game it’s tragic. She died at 27. It leaves you wondering what could’ve been it’s not a perfect album but it’s pretty damn good.

Sensational singer, voice of a goddess. This album shines on her true talents. RIP

Es hermoso y agridulce

Properly rated, even though I don't listen to it as often as I should. 7/10

why didn't anyone tell me about this masterpiece before 5/5

classic

In 2006, I went on a trip to London with a couple of friends. We were heading over to see The Flaming Lips play the Hammersmith Apollo, and stayed a few extra nights for the craic. On our first day, we did a bit of day-drinking in a bar in Soho. Amy Winehouse’s song “Rehab” was playing in the background. I’d never heard anything like it before. It properly stopped us in our tracks. Cut to a couple of hours later, two of us were singing “They tried to make me go to rehab, but I said NO NO NO” at the top of our lungs as we walked through the streets of Soho, much to the embarrassment of the third. Sure, alcohol was a factor, but the song was so unique and catchy that we couldn’t resist. We happened upon a cultural moment in London. There was a real scene developing, mostly around the Camden area, but it had spread across the rest of central London too. People wore messy hairdos that somehow defied gravity, with very skinny jeans, black eye makeup (regardless of gender), and did lots of drugs openly. There was a real cool vibe and energy to the bar, club and music scene that made it feel like being in the middle of an artistic movement right as it was happening. Amy Winehouse was a key figure of this scene. She became a proper cultural icon. Her look was a big part of that: the bouffant hairdo, the big black wings of her eye makeup, the tattoos, the dresses. She looked like a punk rocker who had time-travelled back to the 60s to be a singer in The Ronnettes. Her voice was the other big factor too, obviously: coming from a background as a jazz singer, her voice was insanely strong, and at a time when it wasn’t common, she sounded like a modern incarnation of Billie Holiday. And then when you heard her speak in interviews, she sounded like a London cabbie. Proper London gal, innit? Her attitude and humour was the other big factor. The juxtaposition between her singing voice and her speaking voice was one thing, but it was her personality that got her all of the (mostly unwanted) attention from the media. She had a good deal of punk rock attitude, with some great comedic instincts, and was a breath of fresh air among the phoniness of pop music of the time. Basically, she seemed very genuine and sound. “Back to Black” was very different to anything else that was around at the time. The Motown, neo-soul, 60s vibe to the songs coupled with the edginess of her lyrics (using words like “fuckery”) felt very fresh. A large part of that was down to Mark Ronson. Don’t get me wrong, these songs were Amy’s, but Mark Ronson was instrumental in bringing the absolute best out of her. The two came together at exactly the right time, and struck gold. The musicianship of The Dap-Kings and Ronson’s production instincts matched perfectly with Amy’s vision and songwriting. The album wouldn’t have worked nearly as well without that collaboration. While it’s not a perfect album, there’s a serious amount of fantastic songs on this album. “You Know I’m No Good”, “Love Is A Losing Game” and “Tears Dry On Their Own” have stood the test of time, and are proper classics. “Back to Black”, the title song, really shines: that staccato piano line, Amy’s gritty lyrics about depressive states and the vocal melody in the chorus is just fantastic. And of course there’s “Rehab”, the song that introduced me to her in the first place. There’s a reason it struck us in that pub in London. The idea of dealing with a taboo subject, like rejecting an intervention, with upbeat doo-wop is something that nobody would have expected to be a huge hit. It’s such a unique concept, executed to perfection, and one of those all-time great songs. So good that it can cause two-thirds of your friend group to break out into song in the middle of a crowded London street, while the other third pretends they’re not with you. 4.5 stars.

👍

So many good songs in one album Taken too soon, RIP Amy

The songwriting carries it. Even when it feels familiar stylistically, the voice and perspective keep it grounded and personal.

the 1960s in a 2000s pop album. shame that listening now feels so bittersweet. also a shame that "she probably should've gone to rehab" is such low-hanging fruit where jokes are concerned, because admittedly it would've been cool to see her sound evolve if she'd made it into her 30s. out of respect to amy winehouse i will not say that i hate british people today.

My mom used to blast this in the car when I was a wee lad and I think that increases my score for Ms. Whinehouse and I still come back to it fairly regularly for that reason alone. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. rip amy you would've loved The Masked Singer

We listened to Amy Winehouse’s debut, Frank, a while back and I, to be blunt, hated the fucking shit out of it because I felt like it was trying to be current and, as a result, sounded immediately dated (and also the songs caused some fucked up time dilation thing where they claimed to be 3 minutes long whilst lasting multiple hours. I was surprised by my distaste for Frank because I remembered enjoying Back to Black. I just kinda assumed I was misremembering or maybe my taste had changed but, no, this album is quite good and the other one is just not for me. What’s fun to contrast is how leaning into the retro sound makes Back to Black sound less dated than Frank’s “modern” 2003 ass production.

Surprised myself by enjoying this !

Pretty strong album overall - fizzles out towards but first 2/3 you can’t skip.

Heard a lot about Amy Winehouse but never listened to an album. Let’s see if she lives up to the hype or if it’s a died young situation. Rehab is a banger. A goat pop song. You know I’m no good is another banger. Love that background track. Vocals are unique but in a great way. Me and Mr jones is pretty good. Again I like the horns a lot. Not as catchy. Just friends is meh. Nothing special abt it. Just a normal pop song. Back to black is another banger. Good harmonies, great vocals. Good piano too. Love is a losing game is pretty good. Super emotional. Bad time for that (rip king). I like tears dry on their own better. I also like the contrast between this one and the last. This album has a theme. Wake up alone is very well written. Another one that fits well in regards to the theme of the whole album. Some unholy war is just ok. Another one that is just kind of a generic pop song. Production on he can only hold is so good. Great vocals as always too. This song is really fun. Really cool horn solo. I love how it ends with addicted. Full circle after starting with rehab. In hindsight I was always going to like this album, I love Adele and Amy is as close to Adele as you can get. I was not expecting such a well put together album with a true theme. It’s emotional and fun all at the same time. I was honestly blown away. 4.1 stars.

Pretty interesting, actually. I didn't listen to her when she was active, so this came as a bit of a surprise. I really like the 60s girl band vibe, and I think the rough edge she puts on it really makes this work.

First album I own. And a classic 4 stars

This was way better than i thought it would be.

Quite poignant how short/punchy this album is. Leaves you wanting more.

Great!

Big amy winehouse fan. Back to black is a classic. Rip Amy Winehouse you were masterful.

8.5/10 - What kind of Fuckery is this?

I like this album a lot more than Frank. No bad songs on this and it's banger after banger. 8/10

i like to dance to this

I used to know someone who bought this album when it came out and listened to it constantly on repeat. I just didn’t get it then. I thought her songs were overplayed on the radio, and that made me not like her music. But… listening to this now, with an open mind, I can see how talented she was as a singer and songwriter. Coupled with some very good production, this is a very good album. Still not one that I will necessarily listen to again for a while, but I don’t hate it. And that’s saying something. This gets four out of five. I didn’t think I would score it that high. It’s a good record, and I can appreciate that. Standout track - Tears Dry On Their Own

I didn't know much about her, outside the tragedy and the hits, and was pleasantly surprised by the album. I understand why she was so beloved.

8/10 Best songs: Back to Black It's crazy that I listened to her debut album the other day and got this one today - what are the odds? This time around she certainly grew into her voice, and it's an interesting experience hearing these ultra-modern lyrics paired with Motown/60s-influenced music. Overall it's worlds better than her debut. I do find that at various points she loses herself in the aesthetic styling of her voice, which results in a loss of enunciation, and thd mixing is occasionally entirely off (seriously, in several of the songs I can barely understand her due to both of these reasons). Frankly, I've never particularly enjoyed her music, and I have always found her celebrity inextricably tied to her tragic life which I find rather reprehensible, but this album is better than I expected.

4.5

another day another banger 4/5

I have not listened to this album before. I was expecting to give it a "yeah, it was significant" three but was really engaged by it. I usually listen to my assigned albums twice through but even after a third listen I thought that i would continue to appreciate this album even more after additional listens.

I know some think this is a nostalgia-fest and disingenuously borrows from the past (motown etc) but I liked it. Great voice and some absolute bangers

It’s not really my kind of music, but I ca appreciate the quality.

150/1001 This is much like Michael Jackson’s Thriller. Half of it is amazing singles and the other half I don’t ever need to hear again. I like half of Thriller about half as much as half of Back to black though. 7/10

The backing musicians were worth an extra star. Otherwise, 3 stars.

7/10

Haven't listened to it fully before. The songs are so cool, the vibe is there with q great composition, and style which was rare for the times to be popular. A testament to her talent and so many more things she could've given to the world.

Such a big leap forward from Frank, songs much more interesting and feels more assured, sad we didn't get more from her

Mit Back To Black (2006) veröffentlichte die britische Sängerin Amy Winehouse ihr zweites Studioalbum und den entscheidenden Schritt zu internationaler Bekanntheit. Die Aufnahmen entstanden in den Allido Studios, Chung King Studios und Daptone Studios in New York, im Instrument Zoo Studio in Miami sowie in den Metropolis Studios in London. Produziert von Mark Ronson und Salaam Remi verbindet das Album Elemente aus Soul, R&B und Neo-Soul mit Anleihen bei Pop und dem Klang klassischer Girl-Groups der 1960er Jahre. Winehouse’ Gesang steht klar im Mittelpunkt: rau, kontrolliert und nah am traditionellen Soul. Die Arrangements greifen häufig auf Bläser, Streicher und reduzierte Rhythmusgruppen zurück, was den Songs eine bewusst retrohafte Atmosphäre gibt. Stücke wie „Rehab“, „You Know I’m No Good“, „Back to Black“ und „Tears Dry on Their Own“ zeigen die Mischung aus persönlicher Textführung und klassisch orientierter Produktion besonders deutlich. Die Zusammenarbeit mit Musikern der Dap-Kings trägt zusätzlich zu diesem stilistischen Bezug bei. Das Album wirkt in seiner Gestaltung geschlossen und konzentriert. Die Verbindung aus persönlicher Erzählweise, traditioneller Soul-Ästhetik und moderner Popproduktion macht Back To Black zu einem prägenden Werk der 2000er-Jahre.

Great pairing of performer and producer.

This is a fantastic album. RIP Amy.

Lang getwijfeld tussen een 4 of een 5, maar het is toch een hele, hele, hele hoge 4 geworden

Voorafgaand aan deze review voel ik me verplicht om het volgende te benoemen: Een van mijn grootste pet peeves in muziek is de nostalgia-bait big band/doo wop revival trend van de afgelopen 20 jaar. Ik haat deze muziektrend met een passie (zie Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics). Daarnaast heb ik over het algemeen niet de hoogste pet op van reggae. Dan komen we nu aan bij de bizzare situatie die Back to Black veroorzaakt (Back to Basics/Back to Black > toeval? kinda sus). De productie is geweldig, vooral de tracks waar Mark Ronson aan het roer staat (specifiek You Know I'm No Good, wat een briljant geknutselde plaat). De stilistische keuzes zijn alleen om te janken. De hiervoor genoemde muziekstijlen liggen als een dikke, muffige kaassaus over de heerlijke lasagna die eronder verstopt ligt. Toch krijgt Amy Winehouse het voor elkaar, ondanks dit alles, om me toch onder de indruk te krijgen elke keer als ik Back to Black hoor. Vooral de eerste helft van het album kent echt hit na hit. En over de vocals kan ik uiteraard weinig zeggen wat nog niet eerder gezegd is, Amy was een hele grote.

Me gustó mucho, la verdad es que tenía algo especial, que en paz descanse

the title tells us what winehouse is doing. she gives us a nigh perfect take on old r&b, funk, reggae, and soul. this is just stunningly good. it’s too bad that the autobiographical nature of the album was too much for her

Other than ‘Rehab’, this was all a new listen for me (I was a high school junior when this was released, British soul singers weren’t exactly making the cut on my iPod). This album was a total throwback to like 1960s Motown-style music, in a good way! Ms. Winehouse has a tremendous voice and there’s a ton of emotion on display in the songs. I particularly enjoyed the title track and ‘Tears Dry on Their Own’. The last two or three songs were a bit tedious and forgettable, but this was still a very good album, a solid 4/5.

Never looked past Rehab on this album and I’m sad that I did that, but we back and it’s a banger

a modern classic.

Enjoyed this a lot. Not just the hits.

Super talented artist. Shame this was her last album.

4.5⭐️/5 03.02.2026

Very talented.

🐐

Favorite track(s): Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black, Tears Dry on Their Own

Amazing.

интересный альбомчик чисто на фон поставить можно

This is some fantastic throwback R&B/soul. Everything is a winner here. Only thing for me is, this feels more like music that has it's time and place for me, not something I can just throw on any time. Still fantastic though.

I wanted this to be 5 stars...but it is not. It's more between 3 and 4, but I must award 4 stars because I found two songs to be really great. As for the rest, they are indeed good songs, but I just find they are not very innovative. I guess that's part of the whole concept, but I felt the music lacked personality or uniqueness. In any case, a good album with no bad songs.

she's got a vibe Will I listen to again: 60%

este disco ya lo había escuchado 8293883 veces antes, así que no lo escuché. es bueno pero amy no es mi cup of tea. 3 estrellas

4.5

Great record. Reminiscent of the old 60s Specter sound, but fresh too.

Der typische Sound. "Back to black" und "Rehab" kennt wohl jeder. Auf jeden Fall zurecht in der Liste der 1001 Alben, auch wenn es nicht meine Lieblingsmusik ist. 4/5

Good

“What kind of fuckery is this?” I always find something new to enjoy when I listen to Back to Black.

Not a fan of her voice nor the lyrics, but the album is well produced and succeeds in bringing back a long-lost epoch, even if it is not your cup of tea. 7/10

4/5

There are no skippable songs on the album. Every song hooks you in immediately with a classic blues/jazz or even reggae rhythm followed by a fantastic vocal performance. The songs are unsubtle when talking about addiction, depression and abuse. Amy puts everything out there. Definitely should have gone to rehab.

Her vocals pair well with the horns, distinctive percussion at the low BPM and fun unique instruments for various songs. Creates that old school sound like an underground jazz club shrouded in dim lights.

Still sounds as fresh as when it burst onto the scene. Tragic she didn't live long enough to make more like it.

Great voice, cool mix of retro/modern soul.

Not too bad. Fairly enjoyable.

Silky backing with silkier vocals. Prime length

Not my usual style but can’t deny how good she is!

Respect to old Motown vibes! I have listened this album several times but not for many years. Still sounds as I remember. Great album but doesn't bring anything new to table.

I used to listen the heck out of this album. I burned a CD-R for car use, it was one of the few pieces of music my ex-wife would listen to without whining, along with Duffy's Rockferry. I like most of the album songs, some of it turned out to be a bit iffy as far as her decisions in life go. There are a few songs I don't like as much, for instance that one with kinda crappy reggae vibes, but overall a great album!

What a talent. A big departure from her excellent debut (which I may still prefer), but love the nostalgic sound and of course her voice

Another album that I was familiar with but had never listened to fully. It did not disappoint. The songs I was already familiar with sounded great in context, Tears dry on their own being a real highlight, and the rest of the tracks were good as well. Overall though the album tracks never did top the singles so it didn't blow me away, still a good listen so I'll give it a 4.

Saknar henne och hennes coola röst. Sjukt att hon under sin livstid bara gav ut två album varav detta är det sista. För mig banbrytande och coolt. Jag minns henne som häftig när hon slog igenom, att hon gjorde något nytt. Det är fortfarande en mycket bra skiva som producerade så många bra singlar. Hon var en talang!

I was a bit of a contrarian prick when this record came out and didn’t deem it worthy of a second listen. I was completely wrong and I’m glad this got generated for me to give a second chance.

8.5 / 10

- very groovy and Jazzy - Incredible Voice and instrumentals - upbeat and bouncy songs are incredibly catchy - weird dissonance between subject of the lyrics and instrumentals, probably very intentional - the slower songs ( me & mr jones, love is a losing game) are “carried” by/ focus on her incredible voice - comes together as an interesting painting of a troubled and passionate life. - it has a cynicism to it that is mostly enhanced by the irony of the contrasts between bouncy jazz tunes and lyrics about addiction and a life that is falling apart (best seen in rehab, which carries itself with the defiance of a misunderstood and headstrong person that won’t change her ways) - gives the album a tragic sense of self awareness in hindsight

An iconic album with fantastic songs!! The type of songs you can't help but sing along to.

I don't know that i've listened to this entire album before. It was great.

I am very conflicted on my thoughts on this one. On one hand its easily enjoyable, singable, and performed with a soulful voice and a brass section rarely appearing in 'pop' songs like this. On the other hand, I can't help but feel a more raw production, perhaps more depth to the instrumentation, would being this album more in line with old soul records. Regardless, the lyrics, though rather exoteric, remain incredibly memorable and fully explore Amy Winehouse vices and life at this stage. Its actually shocking at times how vulnerable and exposing she is about her experiences. I'm rating this album as a 4 - accounting for my personal enjoyment and that despite its polished production it is peerless for its time of release, though i could see it argued as a 3

Her voice with the jazzy pop beat made her who she is. Nice!

Probably the best of what pop can do in the modern age: smooth vocals and pleasant orchestration.

Damn she bad! This albums pretty good and I love her vocals. The bass is addictive in this album and works great! Peak music fr.

I completely ignored Amy Winehouse when she was alive but came to appreciate her talent later. Love the title track but the rest of the album is not quite a 5.

Very well produced, well made R&B. I think part of this album’s legacy is due to Winehouse’s premature passing, but it’s still a very solid album in it’s own right.

Banger

I didn't realise how much I knew of this album, but I was singing along to almost every song. There's so much life in these songs, but also so much sadness and self-deprecation. Her voice is unmatched, and the arrangement of the songs is brilliant. Very close to being a 5 star for me!

I was expecting more? Great voice but something in the mix/production was just off to me. Instrumentally was just boring. Mid 3

took me back! I enjoyed listening to it

When you listen to this album, it makes you remember how much of a trailblazer Amy Winehouse was for female artists. She totally broke the mold about what a female pop artist should sound like and the type of music they should make. I always felt like Amy Winehouse was one of those people you would describe as an "old soul", and this album perfectly depicts that. She did her own thing and she did it beautifully!

I knew the singles but not the album, the track Back to Black is just killer, but I enjoyed the whole thing. 4 stars.

aguante amy

3.7 never really listened to Amy Winehouse, but she aaaight

after to listening to a lot of 60's soul which helped inspire her, man she did really well on this album.

Fantastic debut, with Amy’s soulful voice shining through and well produced horns and backing. A couple of bangers, including ‘Rehab’ and ‘Back To Black’, with ‘Love Is A Losing Game’ another highlight, if very sad. 2nd half of the record not quite as stellar as the first, which holds it back from 5 stars.

It was a great listen!

Ive had her first record before and both of them are equally great. Its still wild that this type of music was popular in the club banger era of music. Probably different demos but still. To have akon and Amy doing their things at the same time is still insane. Its sad that this is it. And she definitely should have gone to rehab but its still a great song. A bit sadder but still great. The title track is great too. Also me and mr Jones is a standout too. Hearing the word fuckery with these instrumentals is funny. Its just a good record with great vocals and a fun style that would have maybe only gotten better.

Good overall, although not my usually liked stuff. I can appreciate

Decent 4

No no no

I am bias because I already loved this album, and I do so even more now.

This is a cracking album. It's shame Winehouse's career was cut so terribly short. A terrific voice, great lyrics.

Great voice and the retro style is really interesting. Not afraid of dark subject matter

One of my favorite voices of the last 30 years. This album in particular has so much of what I love about soul music. It's not perfect, but neither was she.

Idk why but I thought she was from the 60s? She’s got an amazing voice that carries so much soul.

Music is a 3. Amy’s voice is a 5 (minimum). Took the avg: 4

A classic for sure but more skips that didn’t resonate with me than I remembered. An all time voice and presence gone far too soon. I still like Frank better.

I remember being really high but having to watch Amy Winehouse sing “Rehab” on one of the late night shows with my parents because our friend Ian was playing in the band. Couldn’t really figure out what to make of it at the time.

🖤

Great songs, hell of a voice, TERRIBLE mastering. The drums are downright deep fried.

Yes

My contrarian nature meant I largely avoided this at the time as it seemed like a hipster fad with no musical merit. Happy to admit I was wrong. She has a uniquely powerful voice, and this album is full of well written, Motown inspired modern-day anthems.

What a legendary and fantastically produced album. Depressingly hard to listen to considering lyrics about the substance abuse that lead to her death. But wow; so tight Mark Ronson production, especially the drums. Though I’ve never listened to this album front to back, its popularity made this a nostalgia trip into the past, partly because many of the songs I’ve heard many times before, and partly because vocals and songwriting style have clearly inspired so many artists after her. A piece of cultural bedrock.

A classic, paired back arrangement and beautiful voice

Listened before

What a quick yet impactful 30 minutes with a really a unique sound that sounds so similar to what the 60’s sounded. Amy just gives a powerful independent perspective about herself and her music I just can’t help but feel bliss and optimistic when listening to it all.

• Rehab is a great opening track for this album. We studied this song in class as an example of how to write horn accompaniments, and it's easy to see why. This song is Amy Winehouse's sound in a nutshell, and it's a sound nobody else in modern music has really come close to replicating. • Back to Black is also iconic for very good reason. • Tears Dry On Their Own makes good use of the Ain't No Mountain backing track. It's uncommon for me to listen to a song sampling a very famous track and not feel like it's just a worse version of the original (see: Anxiety, I'm Good), but this song somehow avoids that. Amy Winehouse was one of the more unique voices of the 2000's, and her talent really couldn't be overstated. There's a reason her music still resonates with people today. There were a few songs that didn't quite grab my attention, but the songs that did were all great. The singles in particular were all fantastic, and her most popular songs definitely earned their popularity. Favourite song: Rehab

:)

Iconic album! Set the tone for a particular retro sound for the new generation

Love how frank she talks about addiction long before it was normalized

Definitely a fantastic pop album. Nearly every song on here is just solid pop glory.

My rating 4.2 Fabulous album. Love the nostalgia sounds alone side the cutting lyrics. Just Great.

really solid and cohesive album. I was surprised at how many songs I actually knew! love how much bari was in there

One of the best pop albums of the 21st century. So many bangers. Favorite track: Back To Black

The last time I saw her perform was at the V Festival in 2008, and in 2025 I stood in Camden and saw her statue. Knowing there will never be another chance to hear that voice live makes the album feel heavy in a way that goes beyond music. Listening to this album now simply makes me feel sad — sad that such a voice is gone, and that all we have left are the recordings.

I'd heard OF Amy Winehouse, I'd not heard Amy Winehouse. I was not prepared for this to be this good. Fuck yeah. Four stars.

Peel away all of the substance abuse and mental health issues. Peel away all of the hospitalizations and legal troubles. They're all part of a larger tragedy about how we lose great great artists way too soon. Remove all of that and you still have this amazing phenomenal voice that is still mesmerizing.

Initially I was thinking 5, but then some songs dragged. Then some Jamaican rhythms kicked in, which is always a plus. In the end, I dig her voice, and most of her music.

So much better than the other Amy winehouse on this list. It’s got a much more serious approach than essentially being an hour of “fuck my man I hate him so much.” You can see how much she matured, makes it all the more tragic

I love this album, but I was 13 when it came out and it was one of the only albums I owned, so I am biased.

me encanta este álbume!!! grande amy te extrañamos

2/3. Really great album, I'd heard it before but it was nice to come back to. Great voice, love the production, and the running theme of love and hate and addiction and the blurred lines between them plays out beautifully in the lyrics.

This is such a great album with some really good songs that are poignant and sung by someone with an incredible voice. lots of notable songs and an album I would happily listen to time and time again. I already own this. this album holds out with love is a losing game on its own, which is the standout track. 4.5 Stars

The only thing that I knew of Amy Winehouse was that she died of alcohol poisoning. That being said, I really enjoyed this album, and thought it was fun with a throwback vibe. It gets four stars.

A classic album tainted now by Amy’s personal life. The album barks back to 1960s soul with the production skills of Mark Ronson. The album is littered with fantastic songs, great playing, great singing, brilliant lyrics and fantastic production.

Although I knew every song it was interesting to listen afresh after a while away. I think she has a great voice although she sometimes comes across as mimicking. There are some fab tunes on here but again, so maudlin that I can only take it in small doses. Also the themes are slightly wearing but it hit today.

Great album, cohesive. The latter half is much better than the first half. Favs: love is a losing game & addicted

I am honestly surprised by Winehouse's sound. I admit I never listened to her music though I heard so much about her. She sang with the sounds of old souls (Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra) and I absolutely love her music. Will definitely return to this album and explore her other offerings.

All this time I thought Amy Winehouse was "just" a popstar and meanwhile she was making blues and soul music… Is it pastiche? Of course. It is also pretty damn good all the same.

i don't listen to her in my spare time but i can't deny the impact of this. i'd heard the majority of the songs before many times which speaks to how iconic it is

Love you Amy rest in peace sweet girl

😍🤩

Wow I love this…I’ve never listened to her before, nor do I know much about her, but from what I do know, this album is actually very sad. Behind the very jazzy energetic instrumentals there’s very real and raw lyrics telling her story & the struggles she was facing.

Pretty good love her voice

I mean, there's a reason this is one of the best selling albums of all time. I do wonder sometimes how her legacy would have been affected by music after this. I think ending on a high note can have a really different impact on the world than ending on a low, and I think it'd be interesting to see how things would've panned out if she had gotten clean or broken apart from her father or something. Favorites: Rehab, Back to Black, Some Unholy War

what a smooth ass album. great melodies and chord progressions. amy's voice is electric. I've never listened to a full album from Amy before but I know her hits. the vibe of this album is great. really great percussion in her songs as well. i like this!

so like... this is what every single pop girly from the late 2000's and 2010's was ripping off, and it DEF deserves all the accolades, with the lovely jazzy stuff to it and just the brilliant vocals, such a cool album for sure

No doubt about the significance of this album, just a high-quality pop record that really matches the era of Motown artists, but highlighting modern issues and scenarios. Compared to her other album, she really found her groove and props to her for that. Undoubtedly one of the most recognisable vocals in music.

This is wonderful. Her range in the middle made for easy listening.

8,8/10

Took me three listens to enjoy it to its full potential. This one you need to listen in silence to really get it.

One of my all time favs

Smokey jazz.club.

Solid album

good album

First time fully listening to this album which is long overdue. Extraordinary voice, love the jazzy music, iconic, love and addiction. I listen to it twice and it’s a vibe I could relate with some lyrics as well. Favourite is probably „love is a losing game“ and „Addicted“ (ofc back to black and rehab as well, famous for a reason)

I need to listen to diss

Insanely influential for singers like Adele. It's crazy how much of a distinctive style she has on this album. You'd obviously recognize her voice anywhere, but also the instrumentation (drums & trumpets), and her raw and unfiltered writing style, singing about drugs, alcoholism, her goo-for-nothing ex relationship she can't let go off. Obviously very influenced by Black soul singers. Had no idea Amy and Nas crossed paths, worked together and more?? Back to Black is one of the most recognizable 00s tracks, goes so fucking hard with that beat and the instruments

Have listened to before, great songs popular for a reason!

Didn't really care for Rehab when it was big, but this album is really much more than the single. Enjoyed it quite a bit.

Most enjoyable songs --------- Rehab You know I'm no good Back to black Love is a loosing game --------

Not my favorite

I wanted to like this album less but its really good, as long as you skip rehab (overplayed).

Brilliant album only marred by some song lyrics feeling very uncomfortable, particularly with the hindsight of 20 years and a few documentaries.

Beautiful and smoky. What a loss.

I mean its iconic, absolutely timeless

Love it! Zo veel hits en echt een goede leuke vibe! 8/10 Wel

Great album. Too pop y for me

- tämä on kyllä solidi platta, voisi jopa sanoa että no skip levy

1. Wake Up Alone 2. Tears Dry On Their Own 3. Love Is a Losing Game I love this album a lot. I like the instrumentals and the mix of slow/fast songs. Some are really music oriented and others are more mainstream pop but they all work well together. I have given it 4 mostly because this is not my favourite Amy album, I prefer Frank. But, i would have given it 4.5 if I could because it’s not missing much. I like the talking/singing style of some Frank songs and more emphasis on the instrumentals which is not on this album as much. (Frank also has an intro/outro which I love).

She gets clowned so bad, maybe deservedly so, but this is good music with “voice of a generation” level vocals. I enjoyed this way more than I expected to!

4/5. What a legend

We miss you mama. Such soul in that voice, such sorrow in those words.

Unbelievably talented. What could have been

Masterpiece, sad she's gone.

Would be 5 if Rehab wasn't here. Vibed with the rest. Three songs added to my favorites.

actually so good

I enjoyed this album very much. It bounced between making me want to dance and making me want to cry. I really enjoyed the contrasting feelings it gave me. 4/5

I listened to a couple of songs from this album for a while. Gets into specific mood

Another one gone too soon. I think her voice above anyone else sounds so effortless and gentle. Beautiful writing, unique style, and iconic voice. Really really enjoyed this

Day719 - i knew more songs than i thought i would. i’m kinda ambivalent to amy winehouse but i understand what a talent she was and she’s gone too soon

got this cd when i was younger & have always loved this album!
