The Neighbors and Simone Vitullo have teamed up to release a powerful reimagining of ‘Back to Black’, featuring the exceptional vocals of Chloe Florence. Released on Go Deeva, this modern adaptation of the iconic Amy Winehouse track has resonated with audiences worldwide, achieving remarkable milestones across streaming platforms and charts.
A PROJECT INSPIRED BY LEGENDARY MUSIC
The idea for this project originated in the summer of 2022, when the announcement of the Back to Black biopic reignited a deep appreciation for Amy Winehouse’s legacy. Moved by her story and the raw emotion behind the original song, The Neighbors envisioned a contemporary interpretation that could thrive both in club environments and personal listening experiences.
Initially conceived as an unofficial club edit incorporating Winehouse’s original vocals, the project took a transformative turn upon meeting Chloe Florence, a gifted singer-songwriter. Enthusiastic about the concept, Florence brought a fresh yet deeply emotive perspective to the track. The creative process involved extensive studio sessions, where multiple versions were explored to find the perfect balance between authenticity and innovation. The defining moment came when Florence moved beyond emulation and fully embraced her own vocal identity, allowing the cover to take on a unique and personal dimension.
THE FINAL TOUCH: SIMONE VITULLO & GO DEEVA
While the track had undeniable energy as a club anthem, the team sought to refine it for a broader audience. Enter Simone Vitullo, a renowned producer and head of Go Deeva Records, who was immediately captivated by the project. With his expertise, the track underwent a final evolution—elevating the synth work, restructuring key elements, and fine-tuning the overall production to ensure both club and radio appeal.
The result is a compelling tribute to one of the most iconic songs of the 21st century, seamlessly blending electronic elements with soulful vocals while honoring the emotional depth of the original.
