This album features music from the universally acclaimed film, directed by BAFTA winning director Asif Kapadia, and now officially the highest grossing British documentary of all time at the UK box office. Indeed Amy, in the few months since its release, is a true global box office phenomenon and, officially the second highest grossing documentary of all time globally behind Fahrenheit 9/11. (bron: Universal) \nEnerzijds biedt deze CD een alternatief carrière-overzicht met alle songs die belangrijk waren in haar carrière-ontwikkeling, maar dat dan wel vaak middels alternatieve versies, zoals gebruikt en geduid in de film. Zoals bijv. "What Is It About Men" live op ons eigen North Sea Jazz Festival, een a capella-versie van "Back To Black", een live-versie van "Rehab" uit het programma van Jools Holland en de demo van "Like Smoke". Amy's muziek wordt afgewisseld met fragmenten uit de filmscore van de Braziliaanse soundtrackcomponist Antonio Pinto.
"The soundtrack album for Mime Newell's cinematic adaptation of Gabriel García Márquez's novel, is a minor masterpiece. Antonio Pinto's original score moves with a wonderfully understated sense of the dramatic. Strings (including many guitars) make masterly use of space and texture and are woven into a fabric where Latin folk styles, classical music, and sonic atmospheres are all used sparely enough to be able to talk to and through one another to the listener. The music is more expressionistic than direct. For those who haven't seen the movie, the music stands on its own as a powerful and evocative work that paints a very sensual, alluring, and emotional soundscape. Add to this three original songs by Latin vocalist Shakira that precede the score, and indeed set the stage for it by using not only traditional instruments but folk song structures (no pop), and you have something worth paying your hard-earned money for. Recommended." (Thom Jurek, Allmusic)
