Back to Black by Amy Winehouse — album cover art

Back to Black by Amy Winehouse (2006)

The black-and-white portrait captures Winehouse's towering beehive, winged eyeliner, and an expression balancing glamour with haunted vulnerability — a deliberate homage to 1960s girl group aesthetics that matched the album's retro soul sound.
