UMR/Island Records will follow Sam Taylor-Johnson’s film BACK TO BLACK, based on the life of Amy Winehouse, with the release of a compilation, Back To Black: Songs from the Original Motion Picture.

The standard twelve song set features three original recordings from Winehouse’s highly influential debut, Frank, three songs from the multi award-winning album, Back To Black, and includes a new track, "Song for Amy", sung by Nick Cave. The film's score was composed and recorded by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis.

A further five songs from artists who were an inspiration to Amy Winehouse – The Shangri-Las, Billie Holiday, Minnie Riperton, Dinah Washington and Sarah Vaughan – will also be featured on the album.

Back to Black is directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of Grey, Nowhere Boy, A Million Little Pieces), and sees Industry's Marisa Abela star as Winehouse, and Jack O’Connell (Skins, This Is England, Unbroken) appearing as Blake Fielder-Civil, Winehouse’s former husband. This is the first Amy Winehouse film to be backed by her family, following multiple unauthorised releases including 2015's Amy and 2018's Amy Winehouse: Back to Black.
