30 Apr Beyonce Covers Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black” With Andre 3000; Falls Flat
Beyonce is covering “Back To Black” by Amy Winehouse. The song is from “The Great Gatsby” soundtrack and features Andre 3000.
I want to like it. I really do. It is good…but not as good as Florence And The Machine’s “Gatsby” song or Lana Del Rey’s contribution. Maybe knowing that Jay Z is producing the soundtrack and that Beyonce appears on it makes me critic it more than I should. Maybe it is because that Amy’s version is more powerful. It is a great tribute, but I take it as nothing more.
Thoughts?-DocFB

What a mess, is there still time to switch it with the original on the soundtrack.
