Review
Amy Winehouse is looking decidedly healthier and less beehivey in this album cover, this was slightly before the train-wreck that she has now become. But for all that she is the more interesting of these jazzy female singers of the last few years, including Norah Jones, Katie Melua or Duffy. At least Amy has balls.
Amy has a great voice which she uses in an attractively effortless way with that you have some pretty good and cutting lyrics. I canºt see Melua writing any of the tracks in this album, much less "Fuck Me Pumps".
Despite all of these plus points the music is still essentially unoriginal stuff. It is all pretty unexciting, there is little attempt at innovation or creative creation of any kind. Just a good singer with good lyrics but not enough to be a great album.
