I know I've been blogging about music fairly often lately, but this is my latest obsession: Meet Amy Winehouse.Her jazzy, bluesy, 60s tinged album "Back to Black" is so soulful, you'll be calling C.Thomas Howell and asking him what kind of tanning pills he was taking in that movie just so you can hang.
It also doesn't hurt that the British Ms. Winehouse puts the "wine" in "winehouse." Girl is drunk on the tele like every other minute. And she doesn't deny it. Her single "Rehab" announces, "They tried to send me to rehab, but NO NO NO." Take that Destiny's Child. AND she's besties with Kate Moss. Dear Hello Magazine -- White Hot Mess Alert!
Lately, it seems the British ladies are reclaiming the neo-soul genre from Americans. Between Corinne Bailey Rae's subtle debut and Amy Winehouse, the Stateside gals better get it together before the Brits steal what us Yanks invented!
