Dorian Lynskey writes in The Guardian that the 20th-anniversary tribute concert for 'Back to Black' at the Roundhouse in London, featuring artists such as Jorja Smith, Mark Ronson, and Lianne La Havas, struggled to capture the essence of Amy Winehouse. The critic notes that while the original band performed with precision, the playfulness and anarchic charisma of Winehouse were missing. The review highlights that the show's flow was interrupted by its staging for BBC television, including onstage interviews. Despite this, standout performances included Jessie Reyez's take on 'Rehab' and Yebba's minimalist version of 'Love Is a Losing Game'. The review concludes that while the tribute was lovingly curated, it served as a reminder that Winehouse did not merely glow; she burned.
