About
As of 2026, it's 20 years old.
Back to Black is a stone-cold modern classic — Amy Winehouse fused 1960s girl-group soul with brutally honest, deeply personal songwriting and a voice that sounded like it had lived three lifetimes. 'Rehab' and the title track were raw, witty, and devastating all at once, and the record reshaped pop's sound for years to come.
It won five Grammys and influenced a wave of soulful British artists, a towering achievement made all the more poignant by Winehouse's death just a few years later at 27.
Soulful, honest, and timeless, Back to Black is the masterpiece that captured an extraordinary, singular talent the world lost far too soon.
