“Love is a losing game, One I wish we never played / Oh what a mess we made, and now the final frame / Love is a losing game.” Like so many of the songs from Amy Winehouse’s critically acclaimed (and right so) second album, ‘Back To Black,’ new single, ’Love Is A Losing Game,’ continues her seemingly intuitive ability to pre-empt her own life story. One of the album’s most sombre and short moments, ‘Love Is A Losing Game,’ comes at a time when Winehouse’s personal life has become more topical than her recording career. Put that to one side, however, and the singles sereneness is a wonderful reminder of all the charm and haunting vitality that Winehouse should be known for. If only she could start to win the biggest game of all: life.
