Backlash Fodder - Amy Winehouse
It seems that we Brits are always in dire need for someone to fall ungraciously from their pedestal. At the moment, that person is Amy Winehouse. In fairness to Amy, she’s taken to the task with aplomb, creating column inches with her debauched goings-on and a seemingly constant series of dramatic events. To some, she’s a weird drunk. To others, she’s a tainted angel with the soul of a tortured jazz singer.
Now, for a backlash to be the real thing, it should usually stop an artist before the second album has even come out… however, Amy Winehouse seems to be getting it in the neck after the second LP.
It’s a shame that she’s taking such a kicking in the press - those who have heard her Back To Black LP will know what an impressive talent she is. In short, her album should appeal to those with pop sensibilities as well as those who like to stroke their chins in record shops. Sixties Memphis soul rubs up against jazz and R’n'B… yep… Winehouse is the complete package. Sadly, she’s got the tabloid tragedy too…
