A New Wall of Sound

This is Amy Winehouse, a tattooed, not-so-nice little Jewish girl from the east end of London, whose voice is a gravelly and very knowing anomaly. The production on her second album 'Back to Black' is a spit-perfect rendition of 60s Spector-sound - the slightly hollow, raucous boom, with lots of brass, and claps, and rhythm. She looks, and seems to live, the part.
