Electric Radio Kings will release its powerful cover of the Amy Winehouse hit \u201cBack to Black\u201d on Grand Vision Records on March 15. The band\u2019s take on Winehouse\u2019s musical dive into heartbreak, depression, and addiction is reverent, with soulful vocals and emotionally-charged instrumentation. The video for \u201cBack to Black\u201d was released today.

Why cover such a weighty song? Paul Christiana explains, \u201cI love Amy Winehouse, and her unique vocal delivery. The song is dark and relatable, and it worked really well with our style and emotional vibe.\u201d But it wasn\u2019t an easy decision, or performance. Stacey David Blades adds, \u201cThere was quite a bit of decision making on whether we could truly give this brilliant song justice but at the same time make it our own. The initial recording session of this was a mess! It wasn’t until Mike Gillies came took over the production and brought out everybody\u2019s A-game.\u201d 

The \u201cBack to Black\u201d video includes easter eggs throughout that reference Winehouse\u2019s personal and professional lives. It was directed and filmed by Mason Wright for Keep It King Productions (Adelita\u2019s Way, BLVCKLIST) in cooperation with Chris Jadallah for Calliope Films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were fortunate to shoot at our friend\u2019s amazing mansion here in Vegas. Another friend and Cirque du Soleil performer Cassieopia starred as the ghost. Chris shot the graveyard footage in New Orleans with Paul.\u201d The two remarkable locations support the video\u2019s story, says Christiana, \u201cof an old spirit who has come back to try to reconnect with each of us.\u201d

\u201cBack to Black\u201d was written by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson. Mike Gillies (Metallica, Ray Davies, The Tragically Hip) produced and mixed the ERK track. The full-length Electric Radio Kings debut  album, Purrr<\/em>, will be released later this spring.

Electric Radio Kings is: singer and songwriter Paul Christiana, Stacey David Blades and Keith Horne on guitars; drummer Johnny Rude, and bass player Del Cheetah. The band brings its retro rock influences (from Cheap Trick to Stone Temple Pilots) into the contemporary rock space. ERK\u2019s first single, \u201cSympathy for Me\u201d sat on major market radio playlists next to Shinedown, Ghost, and other rock acts and earned props from Alice Cooper on his nationally syndicated radio show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
