简介

　　AMY WINEHOUSE第二张专辑《Back to Black》是英国最好的soul音乐专辑，或是近年来最好的。她的第一张专辑《Frank》感觉很轻松，有关脱衣舞的内容。而《Back to Black》却完全不同于第一张。这次的专辑，她从60年代的经典女子组合如Supremes和 the Shangri-Las获得了灵感，因为她的声音质地很像她们，同时加入现代词曲的细腻感。

　　制作人Mark Ronson和 Salaam Remi帮助

　　制作人Mark Ronson和 Salaam Remi帮助，专辑歌曲"Rehab"成为了一首有福音音乐伴随的顿足爵士舞曲。《Back to Black》专辑同名歌是一首伤心的曲子，是献给Phil Spector的。这首歌有低音鼓，节奏钢琴，排钟，萨克斯和风琴。然而最好的是《Back to Black》这首歌用轻松自如的(无论在分格或内容上)成年人的品位引领了当今的R&B的潮流。她的歌词采用成年人的视角，来阐述诚实，直率，经常也很复杂：在《You Know I'm No Good》这首歌中，她没有向她的不忠道歉。但是有时又很诙谐，在《Me & Mrs Jones》中猛烈的批评一个男朋友“你使我亲吻了Slick Rick gig”。《Back to Black》是一盘清新地成熟的soul音乐专辑，是这些年来同类专辑中最好地。

　　What a wonderful record! Amy Winehouse's 2nd release "Back to Black" confirms her as a major talent for the millenium. BtB is a straightforward album that plays from start to finsih. Each track is a gem of retro style and modern sensibilities. Amy and her producers cleverly mine a wealth of sixties pop and soul styles with references from classic motown, to doowop and to Brill building style NYC pop (think Phil Spector), hitting everything spot-on. She knows her musical history and employs this knowledge to convey modern hipster sensibilities. Songs are filled with stories of love gone bad, twisted romances, a predilection for hard living - smoking weed and hard drinking. Amy's no shrinking violet - she's a woman with an attitude and an in-your-face point of view. Let's me not fail to mention the quality of her vocals - she gives outstanding vocal performances throughout the 35 minute disc. Each song, turn of phrase, vocal affectation compell you to listen closely and to feel what she's saying. At 35 minutes, I wished the album was longer but she keeps it real and leaves you wanting more. If you like music beyond the formulaic and with personality this is a must have. Hopefully there will be a stateside release and you won't have to pay the $35 bucks Amazon is asking. It is worth it though. Amy Amy Amy!
