Comment:

So much has been made of Amy Winehouse's “real deal” status, from her evocative, beyond-the-groove vocals to her brazen, eyelash-batting attitude. Lucky for us, the girl knows her music as well. And not just obvious [i]Back to Black[/i] influences, like girl groups (the lonesome, haunting harmonies of "I Can Never Go Home Anymore," the finger-snapping "Chapel of Love") and sultry jazz singers (the smoke-ring vocals of Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington); as you’re about to hear, Winehouse's handpicked Artist Playlist also flirts with lounge-bound balladry (Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Sammy Davis, Jr.), ravishing R&B (Minnie Riperton, Aretha Franklin), soul-stamped hip-hop ("Ms. Fat Booty"), and a rather feisty Thelonious Monk. Listening is like lying on the floor of her flat as she breathlessly flips through album sleeves, sharing her absolute favorites with you, one cut at a time.
