(ENGLISH) ‘Back to Black’, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s hotly awaited biopic exploring the rise and demise of Amy Winehouse (1983-2011), shines the spotlight on a timeless diva, a singer-songwriter of dark truths, who flirted with tragedy until her last breath and voiced her demons with all the sensuality and haunting despair of Billie Holiday before her. For the first time, Australian jazz singer Melissa Lesnie brings her velvet timbre and retro charm to the incisive hits such as ‘Rehab’ and ‘You Know I’m No Good’, alongside beloved standards that inspired Amy from her earliest demo recordings. Because for Amy, ‘every bad situation is just a blues song waiting to happen’.

‘Back to Black’, le nouveau biopic tant attendu consacré à Amy Winehouse (1983-2011), met en lumière une icône de la soul contemporaine disparue trop tôt, une auteure-compositrice-interprète sulfureuse, qui flirtait avec la tragédie jusqu’à son dernier souffle, chantant ses démons au même titre que Billie Holiday. Melissa Lesnie, chanteuse de jazz australienne au timbre velouté et au charme rétro, nous fera revivre la sensualité, le désespoir et les vérités ténébreuses des incontournables telles que ‘Rehab’ et ‘You Know I’m No Good’, ainsi que les standards de jazz que chantaient Amy tout au long de sa carrière. Car pour Amy, ‘toute mauvaise passe n’est qu’une chanson de blues qui ne demande qu’à être écrite’.
