Back to Black


Amy Winehouse. Kid tested. Brotha approved.

Here's what Roots drummer ?uestlove had to say about Ms. Winehouse and that gorgeous album of hers in his myspace blog back in December of 06:

ok--
had a camera and lost it but ill do some video blogs soon.
im in barcelona spain now.
I'm on my 15th Listen to Amy Winehouse's Back To Black


please please please PRETTY please BUY THIS
ALBUM......

this is the album Lauryn woulda KILLED for


TRUST ME!!!!!!...

i love this album

yo bum rush the show:it takes a nation to hold us back/frank::back to black

the production is @@@@@
the engineering is WOW
the arrangements
her range ("rehab" to "love is a losing game")
her writing
there is NOTHING im mad at.

THIS is the album Christina Agu wanted to make....i mean i dont mind her Illmatic rehash (my heart is with classic hip hop let's not forget) but i think she "really" wanted to reach some Aretha shit (and i beeeeegggggggged her to let me do this for her....but...sigh)

hats off to Amy, Mark Ronson, Salaam Remi and all involved this project.

this is one of the more stellar surprises to reach me...


Just a reminder. Amy Winehouse. Back to Black. In stores now!
