Amy Winehouse is and was clearly one of the most media covered artist this century; she began her controversial music career as a young woman in 2003, releasing her album 'Frank'. As she was just emerging the media she became critically successful and won a prestige music award; then in 2006 she took a turn. As her music career rocketed, so did her life. She began taking drugs and drinking often, so often that she became very popular with the papparazzi and the media; they were obsessed with her.
The hit single 'rehab' was extremely successful, currently with 14 million veiews on youtube; she even won 5 grammy awards and a record for "First British female to have 5 wins". The song rehab reflects her drug and alchocolic elements in life, and how it was getting to the stage where she was risking her life and health.
The song 'Back to Black' was yet another famous song of hers; depicting the love/hate relationship that she ahnd then husband 'Blake'. The music video has black and white filter over the video; making the words 'black, in the title of the song even more evident; also creating the tone and symbol of emotion representing her 'black'' and negative moods.
The content of the video consists on a storyline of a woman going to a fumeral; her emotions and her moods. The words closely relate to what happens in the video, 'I died a hundred times' and then semantic link with a funeral, death, and graveyards. Similarly the words 'Goodbye' and 'I go back to...' have the semantic link to the music.
