Amy's Dark and Beautiful Masterpiece

It's crazy and still hard to believe such a young LEGEND is gone. But, is she. Amy bestowed two CLASSIC gifts to the music world and fans within those recordings ('FRANK' [her 2003 debut] and 'Back to Black' [2006]) so she exists in her music. Back to Black plays like a diary left open for anyone to devour. It showcases how one woman's truth (in one of the darkest periods in her young life) could enthrall, captivate and even console those who could find themselves mirrored, or consumed in its eleven tracks. From jump Amy sets the emotional and unflinching rollercoaster ride off with the bold album opener "Rehab". Not only was "Rehab" one the album's most mammoth singles, it was also one of the most autobiographical (depicting her battle with substance abuse). The honesty in that track alone, is what made Back to Black so undeniable and strong. It was there deep in the sultry, rasp and growl of her voice all the way to the blood bled into each direct lyric. But "Rehab" really isn't the heart pumping blood to the album, the heart is found in the title track. It delivers one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful songs in recent years. Its difficult to not feel one's self slipping into it's dark magic especially when she hits the refrain towards the end tenderly sings "black.../black.../black.../I go back to/I go back to". The way she alternates between singing gently and fiercely is what made the voice of not only that track, but, the entire body of work so solid. But even with such powerful singles like "Rehab" and "Back to Black", there's no mistaking that they are only a mere piece of what makes the LP a master. The deeper cuts on Back to Black are what give the album breath. "Me and Mr. Jones" (showcases Amy's sense of humor), "Just Friends" (describes her need for companionship absent of romance) and "Some Unholy War" (boasts her damning yet inspiring level of commitment). Each song is like its own little movie within one BIGGER and cohesive movie. It sonically draws inspiration from the Motown era and the jazz legends of music history yet somehow sounds current. This is why the album will FOREVER sound fresh and garner more admirers of its haunting, poetic beauty. So, stop reading this and just go listen to it! I promise you will see exactly what I mean.

A decade later, a modern R&B masterpiece

The cruel truth about Amy Winehouse's breakthrough masterpiece "Back to Black" is her terribly premature death renders its songs a darker and deeply sadder resonance. While she may have not been as strong, her album certainly remains so and even better than it did a decade ago. Worth every penny.

Amy Winehouse will always live in my heart. Who knows what potential greatness was stolen from the world when she was lost. If you don't own this album do your ears and soul a favor and buy it now.
