Amy Winehouse, a singer-songwriter from Britain, became a celebrity after
Frank (2003), one of the best-selling albums by a solo female artist
in the history of British popular music. The music was mediocre soul-jazz
ballads that were steeped in the past but that appealed to the contemporary
audience thanks to the desperate and decadent lyrics, one step to the left
of Liz Phair's
(Stronger Than Me).
Only nineteen years old, she displayed the voice of a veteran soul singer and
the psychological devastation of a heroin and alcohol addict.
Back to Black (2006) was a straightforward refrain-oriented album
inspired by the Tamla soul of the Sixties. Again, the lyrics of staples such as
Rehab and You Know I'm No Good anchored it to her age and her
generation despite sounding like her mother's music.
