Winehouse predominantly based the album on her tumultuous relationship with then-ex-boyfriend and future husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who temporarily left her to pursue his previous ex-girlfriend. Their short-lived separation spurred her to create an album that explores themes of guilt, grief, infidelity and heartbreak in a relationship.
April 12, 20206 yr Author Hands down one of the most influential albums of our time!!! If it wasn't for Amy's sound in Back To Black I don't think there would have been Duffy, Adele, Florence etc. etc.
April 12, 20206 yr The best pop album of the 21st century released on my 12th birthday *.* Back To Black is such a rich tapestry of both catchy and memorable pop music and devastatingly emotional poetry of the lyrics (especially knowing what would happen to her afterwards). Brava!
April 12, 20206 yr I couldn’t stand Amy Winehouse initially but she quickly won me over! Michael please do a review if you want to! I’ll be doing another shortly! Edited April 12, 20206 yr by Leanne 🧘🏻♀️
April 12, 20206 yr Maroon 5's Songs About Jane is by far their best piece of work. Harder To Breathe, This Love and She Will Be Loved was a flawless run of singles. :heart: It was great to see M5 revive their commercial success in 2011 but their music has never met the quality of their debut for me. Back To Black... what an album! There is not a single track that I skip. All of the singles are incredible but also 'Me and Mr Jones' and 'Wake Up Alone' deserve recognition. I agree with the comment on how she basically paved the way for Adele, Duffy and other artists. Even girl groups like GA and SB releasing The Promise and Girls respectively was indirectly because of BTB's success. I never knew the age lie with Anastacia. :o Is that really why her career went to s***? Amazing thread btw! I look forward to seeing what's to come. Edited April 12, 20206 yr by Scene
April 12, 20206 yr Back to Black is definitely one of my favourite 00s albums. Pure perfection and timeless music. THAT'S how you leave a lasting legacy.
April 19, 20206 yr Hands down one of the most influential albums of our time!!! If it wasn't for Amy's sound in Back To Black I don't think there would have been Duffy, Adele, Florence etc. etc. Back To Black is brilliant and the title track is my favourite. Love the haunting B&W video.
April 20, 20206 yr Back To Black is classic, and Life For Rent and Ta Dah are both fab. Both had very underperforming brilliant follow-ups to a monster hit. Ta dah especially had some of the best things Scissor Sisters ever did on it, not least Land Of A Thousand Words, I Can't Decide, and others.
April 14, 20242 yr A very good time to revisit this album (and Frank) with the release of the Black To Black biopic this week. Singles aside, Wake Up Alone has always been the standout track for me. Valerie is now Top 40 on Spotify and Back To Black has re-entered at #122. Edited April 14, 20242 yr by lewistgreen
April 15, 20242 yr Will need to check out the album which I've never done in full. My ranking of the singles.. Back to Black (hard to believe this only peaked at #25 originally and spent only a few weeks top 40!) Tears Dry On Their Own Love Is a Losing Game You Know I'm No Good Rehab (was never huge on this but of course a relatable track for people nonetheless. does sound greater now than then for me though).
April 15, 20242 yr Back to Black (the single) was criminally underrated at the time. Glad it achieved a top 10 peak in the end.
July 26Jul 26 The 20th anniversary of the album is expected to drop sometime in October according to the bio on Instagram. The mailing list to sign up is available here.
July 26Jul 26 I do wonder what (if anything) extra could actually be included on this. The original deluxe felt very definitive and we haven't seen much come up before now.
August 25Aug 25 Will this be another separate chart entry for Back to Black or will it be combined with the original album for charts purposes? Can definitely see there being interest for this given how influential the album is.
August 25Aug 25 Almost true to the original release date as well, just 4 days short!Love the new artwork and the 3CD looks like a must for me. The zoetrope and clear vinyls look pretty cool too (plus the HMV one matches the colour scheme of the artwork!)Wonder if the Amazon exclusive CD will actually become available for the UK too as the artwork on that slipcase is great as well.The 'Tears Dry' demo is out today
