Amy Winehouse
I just got the "Back To Black" cd this weekend--wow! Her sounds is very 60's girls group (although she's not part of a group, heh), with some very modern, gritty topics and enough "language" to merit a permanent parental advisory inset on the cover.
It's really great to hear a competent, consistent revival of this style (I don't know if it'd be accurate to call it Motown Sound, would it?), with relevant subject matter (although sad broken love songs are timeless, eh?).
Has anyone else tried this unique artist? By the way, the cd is on sale for around $8 at Best Buy (this past weekend, anyways).
