Back to Black B-Sides

2007 Universal Island Records Ltd. 北京时间2011年7月24日凌晨，据国外媒体报道，英国女歌手艾米-怀恩豪斯Amy winehouse去世，遗体于当地时间23日下午在其伦敦寓所被发现，年仅27岁。据警方透露，死亡原因不明。消息人士表示，过量的酒精和毒品，是死亡的可疑原因。Amy winehouse曾于08年获第50届格莱美奖年度最佳唱片、年度最佳歌曲、最佳新人、最佳流行女歌手等大奖。 怀恩豪斯是英国近几年涌现出的最有特点的女歌手之一，第一张专辑《FRANK》2003年在英国发行，获得了评论界的一致好评与商业上的成功。这张专辑得到当年水星奖的提名，在2007年度的全英音乐奖中被评出“英国最佳女歌手”。2008年艾米的第二张专辑《BACK TO BLACK》获得六项格莱美提名，最后摘取其中五项格莱美大奖，平了女歌手在格莱美一夜之间的获奖纪录，并使艾米成为第一个获得五项格莱美大奖的英国歌手。艾米所获得的五项大奖当中包括最重要的四项大奖：最佳新人，年度最佳唱片，年度最佳歌曲等。 艾米·怀恩豪斯在音乐上的才华毋庸置疑，但她的生活作风一向引人争议，酗酒、**、离婚、复婚，处处成为媒体的焦点。近些年来，怀恩豪斯长期沉溺于酗酒和药物，为她的音乐事业投上了阴影。怀恩豪斯上个月刚刚在贝尔格莱德拉开了她十二场欧洲巡演的首场序幕，但首演惨淡收场，已取消欧巡部分场次。她在贝尔格莱德的演出也遭到了部分媒体与乐迷的讥讽：她不仅在迟到了一个多小时后才仓促登场，而在演出中，她居然多次忘记歌词。演出中，怀恩豪斯扔下了话筒，喃喃自语两句后便消失了，留下她仍在演奏的乐队以及惊异的乐迷。 Back to Black is the second studio album by English recording artist Amy Winehouse, released 4 October 2006 on Island Records. It is her last album released in her lifetime. The album incorporates 1960s soul music styles and modern R&B production, with subjective lyrics that concern relationships and reflect on Winehouse's experiences with drinking, sex, and drugs. The album produced several singles, including "Rehab", "You Know I'm No Good", "Back to Black", "Tears Dry on Their Own", and "Love Is a Losing Game". Back to Black received positive reviews from most music critics, earning praise for its classicist soul influences, Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson's production, and Winehouse's songwriting and emotive singing style. At the 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony, Back to Black won five awards, tying the record (with Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Beyoncé Knowles, Norah Jones, and Alison Krauss) for the second-most awards won by a female artist in a single ceremony. The album won Best Pop Vocal Album, while "Rehab" won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year and Record of the Year with Amy Winehouse winning Best New Artist. The album was also nominated for Album of the Year.
