Already hailed as one of the decade’s top live performers, Amy showcases her critically acclaimed talent with a rollicking and emotive 60 minute concert performance filmed live from London’s 104 year old Sheperd’s Bush Empire. I Told You I Was Trouble also serves up a potpourri of bonus material including a 50 minute film chronicling her incredible rise as one of music’s most colorful and acclaimed new voices; never-before-seen early performances; an interview with her father, and other rare, behind the scenes glimpses of the British siren.
Showcasing her hit songs from her UK debut release Frank and the international platinum-plus release Back To Black (recently passing the 3 million sales milestone worldwide), the concert from Sheperd’s Bush features “You Know I’m No Good,� “Tears Dry On Their Own�, Amy’s cover of the Zuton’s “Valerie�, and her Billboard topping hit “Rehab,� among others.
Emerging almost unanimously as the most highly touted UK singer in years, Amy’s Back to Black CD has remained a mainstay of the Billboard Top Albums charts since its release 8 months ago. Reaching the #1 plateau in England at the beginning of the year, the mesmerizing artist also possessed the hottest single on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart most of the summer, with her sizzling single “Rehab� scorching its way up the Top Ten, and nailing the #1 spot on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Back To Black has sold more than 3 million albums worldwide, making it one of the most successful debuts of the year. Among Amy’s many awards is the coveted Brit Award for Best British Female Solo Artist, a Best Jazz Crossover album Honor at the Ronnie Scotts Jazz Awards, and an Ivor Novello Award (she won her first in 2003) for “Rehab� in the Best Contemporary song category. Most recently, she received a MOBO Award (Music Of Black Origin) in London, winning as best UK female artist. The singer-songwriter’s brassy mix of soulful vocals tinged with 60’s girl-group stylings /sly funk and jazz has seen her become one of the most critically acclaimed new artist’s in years, with Rolling Stone and Spin magazine featuring her in dueling cover stories this summer. Amy is currently in the midst of a live tour of Europe and will be starting her US tour in January 2008. She obtained a coveted spot to perform on Saturday Night Live on November 10 but had to change her plans once the show was cancelled due to the writer’s strike.
