number 12 on my pr-countdown list is amy winehouse's back to black. the first time i heard what has turned out to be 2007's theme song "rehab", i was immediately turned on to the freshness of it. maybe it was the powerful vocals, or the arrangements. it just sounded like nothing else on the radio. back to black is more than just a throwback to the 60's. musically it is fantastically arranged and produced, but each song showcases her amazing voice. with songs like me & mr. jones, just friends and tears dry on their own, back to black will stay on top of my playist well into 2008. i hope all her "problems" won't overshadow her talent. sometimes the best art comes out of troubled souls.
