Amy Winehouse's Back to Black

Amy Winehouse changes the face of British soul music with her second album, Back to Black.

An absolute icon of British music in the 21st century, the life of Amy Winehouse has been eulogised in movies, documentaries, books, newspapers, and more.

But in a realistic sense, she was so open and honest about herself that she said everything you need to know about her in her remarkable second album, Back to Black.

Her recorded legacy is slight, but the impact it has left continues to resonate. In this Long Player, Steven Rainey investigates the creative transformation she underwent between her two albums, and puts that in the context of the tragedy that surrounded her personal life.
