Apom the little blue pill box -



Evidently I'm not as hip as I'd like to think (no snide comments please). Only recently have I become enamored with the smokey and sultry vocals of Amy Winehouse and I can't get enough of her latest Columbia Records album Back To Black. I won't go on and on about it (or any of the tabloid-worthy drama that she seems to be involved with), but Back To Black is sooooooo good. It plays like a jazz-inflected interpretation of the classic 50's and 60's doo-wop sound with modern R&B production qualities. Motown in style but modern in scope. Perfect shoulder-shakin' music for the warm up we here in Chicago are gonna get today.

there she is.

there's also a superb Ghostface collab version of the You Know I'm No Good track. Those are 2 folks at the top of their respective games. Hype should have it.

"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?"--fucking terrible cover.

I hope Carole King and Barry Goffin sue her for ruining such a magnificent song.

thankyou for putting up the cover which I think is pretty far from fucking terrible.

I know, I love her stuff too. It sounds like a breath of fresh air, but retro all at once. Good stuff.

..Now if we can just keep her from imploding....
