Back To Black!
Back To Black!

Not only has Amy Winehouse recorded one of our favourite albums of the year, she's even taken time out from her schedule to talk us through it. Just for your benefit. It seems the majority of 'Back To Black' is about unfortunate experiences with exes, but what doesn't kill us...

Anyway, you don't have to take our word for it: over to you Amy...


Hi Slashmusic!

So, 'Rehab' is the first single from the album. It’s all about my revolving door rehab experience. I said no! 'You Know I’m No Good' is about how I couldn’t be faithful, and the title comes from my defensiveness when I got found out. Which leads us to 'Back To Black', the title track. I split up with my boyfriend and had a few black months. Say no more!

'Me & Mr Jones'? Well… I didn’t mind when my ex didn’t get me into the Slick Rick show, but Nas? Nobody stands in between me and my man! 'Tears Dry On Their Own' comes from when I was in a relationship that I knew was doomed, but that I wouldn’t be too devastated when it ended: "I should be my own best friend, not fuck myself in the head with stupid men." Sometimes you just need to find time in the day to have fun, not sex. That’s what 'Just Friends' is about.

But you know when you’re in a failing relationship and you’re trying to make it work? Well that’s 'Love Is A Losing Game' – how hopeless and desolate you can feel. Finally there’s 'Addicted'. Now, my best friend can smoke however much of mine she likes, but her boyfriend? That shit don’t fly!

Hope you like the album! Love Amy x
