Amy Winehouse’s second and final album, “Back in Black,” inspired a whole generation of pop artists, from Adele to Lana Del Rey, with smooth neo-soul style, poetic lyricism and belting voice. This album would launch Winehouse into the mainstream and soon make her the target of tabloid media wanting to expose the extent of her demons. Despite being a largely upbeat, cleaned-up album, Winehouse’s lyrics are dark, edgy and languishing. It captured the minds of critics earning her five Grammys that year. She has since been remembered as one of the greatest female musicians of all time.
