Thought this article was interesting.

Some lines I liked:

Amy Winehouse, the 24-year-old British singer and songwriter who captivated music lovers in 2007 in ways both wonderful and calamitous, embodies pop’s most seductive qualities - genuine soul and big trouble.

“Back to Black” is a perfect storm of real feel and studio finesse.

The stars aligned when she hitched her wagon to producer Mark Ronson, who transformed the sound of familiar touchstones - vintage soul and streetwise girl groups - into loose-limbed R&B for a new generation. And an old generation, too. “Back to Black” is one of those increasingly infrequent offerings that transcends the usual demographic divisions.

And therein lies pop’s timeless conundrum, replayed this year in the sad story and scintillating music of Amy Winehouse.

In another article the author listed B2B as one of the 10 best CDs of 2007.

thanks, read it earlier, it is interesting…“Winehouse is the very definition of a natural: endowed with a gritty, soulful voice and a screw-it-all attitude.”

“She’s a train wreck. Poor girl needs help. But we also wonder if - like so many before her - Winehouse is one of the rare musical birds whose wounds and frailties are part and parcel of her artistry.”

This is hard,man. She is not acting,she is suffering.
