Album Description
Available in:
Back to Black est le second album de la chanteuse soul britannique Amy Winehouse sorti en octobre 2006 au Royaume-Uni et en mars 2007 en France. Le groupe Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings a collaboré à cet album.
De nombreuses chansons de l'album sont sorties en singles, comme Rehab, You Know I'm No Good, Back to Black, Tears Dry on Their Own, et Love Is a Losing Game. Back to Black a été universellement acclamé. Les critiques ont apprécié sa tonalité jazz/soul classique et sa « production vintage », ainsi que son écriture soignée, et le style mûr et émouvant d'Amy Winehouse. De nombreux journaux et magazines anglo-saxons ont placé cet album dans leurs tops 10 des meilleurs albums de 2007 : Billboard Magazine, Blender Magazine, Slant Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times et Time Magazine.
À la cérémonie des Grammy Awards 2008, Back to Black a remporté le prix de meilleur album vocal pop et reçoit une nomination comme « album de l'année ». La chanson Rehab a été désignée « chanson de l'année ». Amy Winehouse a remporté aussi les prix de « meilleure performance féminine pop de l'année » et « meilleure nouvelle artiste », égalant ainsi le record (de Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys, et Beyoncé) du plus grand nombre de récompenses remportées par une artiste féminine au cours d'une même cérémonie.
L'album s'est déjà vendu à plus de 11,2 millions d'exemplaires, dont 5,51 millions pour la seule année 2007, faisant de cet album la plus grosse vente de l'année.
User Album Review
Amy Winehouse opened her second album stating defiantly that she wasn't going to rehab – no, no no – then spent the next nine songs documenting why a spell of rest and recuperation might not be such a bad idea after all.
If this was the decade in which celebrities bared all – thanks to websites, cameraphones, the pages of Heat – then Back to Black was its musical equivalent, spilling gin-soaked tales of heartbreak, drugs and depression like they were going out of fashion. You Know I'm No Good has our heroine crying on the kitchen floor, enduring tedious sex and getting caught by a lover with tell-tale carpet burns … and that's just in the space of three minutes.
Back to Black spoke a street-smart, noughties language (from scoffing "chips'n'pitta" to opening lines as gobsmacking as "He left no time to regret/Kept his dick wet"), but it was Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi's faithful 1960s Motown stylings that eased such tough tales into the living rooms of millions. Critics will argue that Back to Black is a coffee-table album – shamelessly retro, lacking in musical innovation. But its strengths were never about tearing down sonic boundaries. This was articulation of an inner pain to rival that of her idols – from Billie Holliday to Sam Cooke – sang with an authentic soul voice that had the strife of a collapsing relationship etched across it. Put simply, the only thing Back to Black had in common with a coffee table was an edge.
This edge was to be Winehouse's downfall. In a tragic case of life imitating art, she ended up living out the worst aspects of Back to Black's subject matter, stumbling around Camden to the glee of websites, cameraphones and, indeed, those pages of Heat. But during the recording of the album, Winehouse managed to save her dark side for the music, combining misdemeanour with melody, scandal with soul. That she will ever pull off such a dazzling highwire dance again – to come back from black, as it were – seems a sadly distant hope.
