May 17, 2024 (TORONTO, ON) — A new official lyric video for the Ivor Novello award winning single, ‘Rehab’, the latest in an ongoing series of videos celebrating the genius of Amy Winehouse, is now available to view online. Utilising newly discovered footage from the original rushes, ‘Rehab’ was directed by Phil Griffin, who also directed the ‘Back To Black’ video, and was shot at 33 Portland Place in central London.
‘Rehab’ was the lead single from Amy’s masterpiece second album ‘Back to Black’ and went on to be crowned ‘Song Of The Year’ and ‘Record Of The Year’, two of the most prestigious awards, at the 2008 Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
The video is being released in local languages: English, French, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, and follows the release and huge no. 1 success of the acclaimed Sam Taylor Johnson directed ‘BACK TO BLACK’ film.
The accompanying official soundtrack album is out today. ‘Back To Black: Songs From The Original Motion Picture’, features original recordings from Amy’s highly influential debut, “Frank” and masterpiece “Back To Black” and also includes a new track, ‘Song for Amy’, sung by Nick Cave.
Further songs from artists who were an inspiration to Amy, The Shangri-Las, Billie Holiday, Minnie Riperton, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan, whose voices all appear at key moments in the film, are also featured on the official soundtrack album.
“Back To Black: Songs from the Original Motion Picture” will be available on 140g black vinyl, limited edition peach coloured vinyl (D2C exclusive), double vinyl, single CD and double CD formats. The vinyl records are packaged with printed inner sleeves featuring a personal note from Sam Taylor-Johnson. The 2LP and 2CD formats will additionally feature stunning behind the scenes black and white photographs captured by Sam Taylor-Johnson on set during the making of the film.
Following the film release, Amy’s catalogue has experienced a huge uplift with the ‘Back To Black’ album peaking at #17 in the official album charts while 3 of Amy’s singles have re-entered the official charts, with ‘Back To Black’ and ‘Valerie’ currently in the Top 40. The 30 million selling, 5-time Grammy winning “Back To Black”, and seminal debut album “Frank”, are lasting testaments to the peerless artist, the phenomenal writer and performer, and the once in a generation talent that Amy Winehouse was.
