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.
For more news about the album please keep checking back for further updates.

Amy, i’ve been listening to you since i was 4yo, when you left, part of me left with you. Every song of you makes me cry as much as it makes me enjoy life. I dk how to explain the way i miss you even if i never got to meet you. But i pray and i’m sure when i get to heaven i’ll be seeing you singing live. We all miss you here and we honor your life. We’ll meet one day, when the time has come. x

20 years of Back to Black… and it still hits just as hard. I genuinely wish you could’ve seen how much your music means to so many people and how loved you still are.
Your voice was so special, but it wasn’t just your voice. It was the way you put so much of yourself into every song. You made people feel things they didn’t even know how to explain.
Thank you for the music, the memories and for leaving something behind that will never really disappear.
Forever missed, forever loved.
Happy 20 years to Back to Black, Amy.
Some people appear in our lives once and leave a lasting mark through their art.
Amy Winehouse — you were not just a singer, you were emotion, pain, love, and true art all in one person.
Your music still touches many hearts today, and your voice will never be forgotten.
Thank you for the emotions you left us through your songs.
I pay my respects to your memory. 🕊️

Amy Winehouse— I love you eternally.
I admire you for your authenticity and resilience throughout your life. Thank you for your music, your voice, your light, and the influence you have brought into this world. Your music specifically your song October Song, and your album Frank inspire me in so many ways. A few years ago my uncle who’s a big fan of you and your music, told me to listen to your album Frank. I heard “October Song” and with where I was in life, and the symbolism of the song it helped carry me. Every time I play that song and listen to your music I am thinking of you <3! I’ll never forget you beautiful Amy.
We love you amy
Amy you are such an inspirations to millions even 15 years after your passing, I cant believe ill never be able to see you perform, you bring me and so many others so much comfort with your music <3 <3
