Amy Winehouse Biopic 'Back to Black' Revives Interest in Late Singer's Life and Music

The release of the Amy Winehouse biopic Back to Black has brought the life and music of the late singer back into sharp focus all over again nearly 13 years after her tragic death .

This week witnessed a slew of fresh"the Amy I knew" articles and a rehashing of the events of that grim day 13 years ago.This is only to be expected. Every time a star dies in tragic circumstances, speculation and rumour swirls. Only last week, we marked thirty years since the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. And of course, certain quarters of the British press still magic up stories about the late Princess of Diana all these many years later.

Neither did the first trailer for Back to Black auger well - it seemed to be a mishmash of cliches of an oft-maligned genre. We’ll know soon enough how Back to Black has fared with the people who really matter - ticket-buying audiences - when we see the box office figures.However, one initially sceptical cinemagoer in the UK summed it up well on Friday night when she said,"I wasn’t sure what it was going to be like, but when it started, I thought she sounds like her, talks like her and she had the look. It wasn’t perfect but you can’t expect somebody to be Amy.

Looking back, it’s easy to see and hear why it stood out. In an era when the music industry was entranced by music’s loudness war, Ronson insisted on authentic fifties analogue mics and recording equipment and it gave the record a room-filling warmth. Back to Black also remains a steady seller in Ireland on vinyl and according to the last available figures from 2021, it was lodged at No 12 between Nirvana’s Unplugged in New York and Evermore by Taylor Swift as the best-selling vinyl album of that year.
