There’s a lot of good stuff to be found on The Great Gatsby’s soundtrack. I really enjoyed what we heard from The xx, Florence + The Machine, and Lana Del Rey. Probably one of the most anticipated tracks was Andre 3000 & Beyonce’s cover of Amy Winehouse’s “Back To Black.”
Mark Ronson, the producer of the Winehouse original premiered the song on his EastVillageRadio show. The first half features Andre 3000, with Beyonce taking over the second half. I’m sorry to say that this cover is not doing anything for me. I don’t think it’s doing any justice to her original either. I like both Andre/Beyonce, but I think this was a misfire.
Listen to a radio rip of the cover below. Beware of the ultra-annoying radio tags. Incase you missed it, EastVillageRadio is who played it…
