About Amy

Two years ago, in the middle of the campaign for her universally acclaimed, platinum selling debut Frank, Amy Winehouse began thinking about what shed like to do with her second record. Frank was her grand and suitably blunt-speaking break-up record, sometimes a little bitter, with a maturity in the vocal delivery that was never less than sweet. It won her a battalion of fans around the world and marked her out as one of the most distinct new voices in pop; confessional, elemental and with that rarest of combinations: humour and soul. Amy had cut through to the core of the human condition with her debut, adding her own jazzy witticisms to the legacy of the greats. So how to follow it up?



I didnt want to play the jazz thing up too much again she says now, sitting in the snug of her favourite Camden boozer. Id been listening to a lot of girl-groups from the fifties and sixties. I liked the simplicity of that stuff. It just gets to the point. You can hear it on the subtley Supremes-referencing intro of Back To Black. But her reach stretches further, Amy can break loose with Aretha-style vocal stylings on Just Friends or by turning the whole idea of drying out into a gospel spiritual on the stunning opener Rehab. Which other female British singer could turn the opening line on her album – try to make me go to rehab/I say no, no, no into a churchy stomp.



Armed, as ever, with only her acoustic guitar, a packet of ever-present fags and a bursting imagination, Amy set about distilling her experiences since the arrival of Frank into song. She is one of the most delightful storytellers on the subject of her own inspiration. If I havent done it, I just cant put it into a song. Songwriting for Amy is like keeping a journal. If I didnt have this medium to get my experiences across, I would be lost. Just listen to her heartbreaking metaphors in the sublime Love is a Losing Game. This is classic modern songwriting and delivery; brief, to the point and drenched in emotion.



Amy reunited with Frank producer Salaam Remi in Miami for a whistle-stop recording tour and they found magic once again. Promptly she decamped to New York to work with man of the moment Mark Ronson, managing to book a spare moment between his work on the Lily Allen, Robbie Williams and Christina Aguilera albums. In her three weeks of studio time she found a new soul and direction, one that both channelled the girl groups of her fancy but placed them slap bang into the middle of modernity. Im not quite sure how the record turned out to sound so complete but I knew that when I decided to record it in a couple of weeks I wanted it to sound like it had been.

  2. Happy birthday, Amy. 🤍

    I love your voice more than I could ever put into words. I love your music, your soul, your genius, and everything that made you who you were. I miss you so much, even though I never had the chance to know you personally. I was still so little when you left this world, but my mom was the one who introduced me to your music, and somehow you became a part of my life anyway.

    I still listen to your songs to this day. Your voice still reaches me, still makes me feel things, still feels so alive. It’s strange to miss someone I never met, but I genuinely do.

    I know you probably can’t see this message, wherever you are now, but I hope somehow this love reaches you. I hope you know how deeply you are admired and how much your art still means to people who were born too late to meet you, but grew up knowing your voice.

    Thank you for leaving your music behind for us. I love you, Amy. And I hope that, someday, beyond this life, I’ll finally get the chance to meet you. 🕊️

  7. Today is the birthday of my beloved, beautiful, extraordinary Amy. ❤️

    How lucky this world was to have you. How lucky I am that you were born, and how grateful I am that I had the chance to know you.

    Today is such a beautiful and special day because I feel you in my heart more deeply than ever. I close my eyes, and somehow it feels as if you are right here beside me, as if you never left.

    I feel your presence in every corner of my home, in the music, in the memories, and in every little moment that reminds me of you. You are still alive in my heart, and there you will always remain.

    Maybe this is my own little way of keeping you close. And somehow, that feels beautiful.

    I am so grateful that you were born.
    I am so grateful that I had the chance to discover you, to know you, and to love you.

    Happy Birthday, my beautiful Amy. ❤️
    You will forever have a place in my heart.

    Happy Birthday, Amy Jade Winehouse.
    I love you, always and forever. ❤️🎂🕊️
