Full review
Having loved Ms Winehouse's first album 'frank', I was wondering if this would compare. It's all gone in a more soulful direction this time and sounds both retro and original at the same time ( if that's possible.) If you are into any of the really great female vocalists ( sarah vaughan, aretha franklin ) then this album is definately worth a listen. There's not many albums that I consider brilliant from start to finish but this is certainly one of them. Love her or hate her ( she is a bit barmy but I think that adds to her charm.) I defy anybody to say that Amy Winehouse is not one of the best and most innovative vocalists of this generation.
