I am as gullible to any “Earth Shattering” sound explosion of Orchestral music as a doomsayer is to the End Of The World. I am already a huge fan of some of the best film score writers such as Danny Elfman …

This artist clearly needs no introduction; I don’t think that there is anyone on this planet who hasn’t heard of Amy Winehouse by now! She’s constantly in the press, usually for all the wrong reasons but, that said, she is one talented singer. This album has got to be her …
