FRONT COVER
You would recognise the album in any shop as it has Amy Winehouse appearing and written across a black background. It doesn't scream look at me unlike some of her songs. It doesn't need to its nice, simple and does the job. You couldn't imagine Amy spending days in the photo studio to tart the cover up it is very much Amy Winehouse style a sitting pose looking quite thoughtful and in some ways troubled.
Here is a track list and what my views are on each song.
Rehab - This is probably the most well known song Amy has sung. It won the award of song of the year and still constantly paid on the radio. It is a real poppy song as it is quite fast paced and easy to sing a long to. It is the perfect ...
Advantages: New fantastic female british RnB artist Disadvantages: None
For me the young songstress Amy Winehouse is a prolific performer. The atmosphere which fills out any room when she performs, or even when you play her CD is astounding. Amy Winehouse is a 19 year old who hails from North London, who writes most of her music on guitar.

When listening to Winehouse’s debut album, Frank, it is not hard to notice the musical influences who of which she has ...
Advantages: Both contempory and old fashioned sounding,vocally superb & different,Lyrically brilliant &honest. Disadvantages: None really
Winehouse is no name for the kind of voice that Amy has! Let's clear this up right now, although some have compared her with Macy Gray-she really only sounds the tiniest amount like her. I think the comparrison serves really to group her amongst other innovative and distinguisahble vocalists.
Reviewing Frank her debut album; I will endeavor to be Frank. I am not going to say anything about her public persona as I dont think this is the most interesting or special thing about this lady. I sometimes feel like the media concentrates far too much on the behaviour of a given star instead on really just how good an artist they. In this case I will agree she is probably a bitch (as many of my friends try to convince me) and I have heard some stories from co-workers and friends who went to my school (same school as Amy) and were in her year ...
