Three years ago, in the middle of the campaign for her universally acclaimed, platinum selling debut 'Frank', Amy Winehouse began thinking about what she'd like to do with her second record.

Armed, as ever, with only her acoustic guitar, Amy set about distilling her experiences since the arrival of 'Frank' into song, and on her seminal album ‘Back To Black' her refined new songwriting approach has been grafted onto some of the most astonishing, material of her short career so far.

Along with producers Salaam Remi and man of the moment Mark Ronson, Amy has created a coherent piece, built for listening in one sitting and packed with hit singles which include ‘Rehab' ‘Back To Black' ‘I'm No Good' and ‘Tears Dry On Their Own'.

The album, with millions of worldwide sales, and Amy, with an armful of awards, have achieved unparalleled success in 2007. Music fans should forget the tabloids, forget the hype, and just listen to the tunes. Her fearlessness as a lyric writer has no peer. Amy is truly an icon.
