It has been two decades since Amy Winehouse released her seminal second studio album, Back to Black. Featuring timeless tracks such as “You Know I’m No Good” and “Love is a Losing Game,” the record solidified her status as a generational talent. Long before the album reached its current legendary status, Winehouse was featured in The FADER’s iconic GEN F series in Issue #44, published in March 2007.
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Back to Black, The FADER recently hosted a special, one-night-only photo exhibition. The event showcased a collection of unpublished outtakes from Winehouse’s original GEN F shoot, captured by photographer Liz Johnson Artur. The evening served as a poignant tribute to her enduring musical legacy and her unique place in pop history.
The atmosphere was further elevated by a curated musical journey. The interview for the original 2007 profile was conducted by Nick Barat—also known as Nick Catchdubs, the co-founder of Fool’s Gold Records—who returned to provide a special DJ set to close out the night. The event also featured sets from Hajin Yoo and DJ Miss Ma’am, creating a space that honored both the history of the music and the community that has supported it for years.
This exhibition was made possible through the collaboration of Universal Music Enterprises, Non, Estrella Galicia, and Brother. For those who missed the event, we invite you to revisit the original 2007 profile of Amy Winehouse to gain a deeper perspective on her artistry during the height of the Back to Black era.
