"REHAB"? YES! YES! YES!Article reported today in the US
It's delightfully subversive the way Amy Winehouse twists melancholy '50s jazz and sugar-coated '60s soul forms into new-millennium vehicles for her brash, at times, expletive-laced, bad-girl anthems on "Back to Black" (Universal Republic). Already a critical and commercial smash in her native England, Winehouse's sophomore album is a rule-breaker, smashing lyrical conventions about women and musical conventions about throwback soul.
Flutes float by, and pretty harmonies soar as she complains about her roommate's boyfriend smoking all her weed in "Addicted." Tender piano and doo-wop backing vocals dominate "Me and Mr. Jones" until Winehouse gorgeously fumes about missing a Slick Rick concert. But it's the brassy '60s pop of the dance hit "Rehab" and the trip-hop drama of "You Know I'm No Good" (even better when Ghostface Killah drops in to rhyme for a verse) that prove completely irresistible.
