Wikipedia sez: “Amy Jade Winehouse is a British jazz and soul singer and songwriter from North London. Her debut album, Frank (released in 2003) was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and she won an Ivor Novello award in 2004 for her debut single Stronger Than Me. In 2006, she released her second album, Back to Black. On 14 February 2007, she won a Brit award for Best British Female.”

So I was reading The Couch Sessions a few months back and saw that Stone mentioned Amy Winehouse in a post. I could of checked her out at the time, but I couldn’t be bothered and never did. Fast forward to a few short months later and I noticed more people raving about her album “Back to Black”. Once again, I ignored it. Her album came out locally a few weeks back and got raves in the local press and online, so I decided to check it out. This is the real deal folks - people hyped up Joss Stone but Amy brings it, not only with her amazing voice but with the interesting tales she tells in her songs. Forget about Lily Allen’s Smile being a cute clever song, if your not hooked on Rehab then you refuse to like catchy, clever music.
