Amy Jade Winehouse(14 September 1983 – 23
July 2011) was an English singer and songwriter. She was known for her deep,
expressive contralto vocals
and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul, rhythm and blues and jazz.
A member of the National
Youth Jazz Orchestra during her youth, Winehouse
signed to Simon Fuller's 19 Management in 2002 and soon recorded a number of songs before signing a publishing
deal with EMI. She also formed a
working relationship with producer Salaam Remi through these record publishers. Winehouse's debut album, Frank,
was released in 2003. Many of the album's songs were influenced by jazz and,
apart from two covers, were
co-written by Winehouse. Frank was a critical success in the UK and was
nominated for the Mercury Prize. The song
"Stronger Than Me"
won her the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and
Authors.
Winehouse released her follow-up album, Back to Black, in
2006, which went on to become an international success and one of the best-selling albums in UK history.
At the 2007 Brit Awards it was nominated for British Album of the Year,
and she received the award for British Female Solo Artist.
The song "Rehab"
won her a second Ivor Novello Award. At the 50th Grammy
Awards in 2008, she won five awards, tying
the then record for
the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British woman to win five Grammys, including
three of the General Field "Big Four" Grammy Awards:
Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year (for "Rehab"), as well as Best Pop Vocal Album.
Winehouse struggled with substance abuse and addiction. She died of an alcohol
overdose on 23 July 2011, at the age of 27. After
her death, Back to Black briefly became the UK's best-selling album of the 21st
century. VH1 ranked
Winehouse 26th on their list of the 100 Greatest
Women in Music.
Back to Black is the second and final studio
album by English singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse,
released on 27 October 2006 by Island Records.
Winehouse predominantly based the album on her tumultuous relationship with
then-ex-boyfriend and future husband Blake Fielder-Civil, who temporarily left
her to pursue his previous ex-girlfriend. Their short-lived separation spurred
her to create an album that explores themes of guilt, grief, infidelity,
heartbreak and trauma in a relationship.
Influenced by the pop and soul music of 1960s girl groups, Winehouse
collaborated with producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson, along
with Sharon Jones' band The Dap-Kings, to
assist her on capturing the sounds from that time period while blending them
with contemporary R&B and neo-soul music.
Between 2005 and 2006, she recorded the album's songs with Remi at Instrumental
Zoo Studios in Miami and then with Ronson and the Dap-Kings at Chung King Studios and Daptone Records in New
York. Tom Elmhirst mixed
the album at Metropolis Studios in London.
Back to Black was acclaimed by music critics,
who praised Winehouse's songwriting and emotive singing style as well as Remi
and Ronson's production. The album spawned five singles: "Rehab",
"You Know I'm
No Good", "Back to Black",
"Tears Dry on
Their Own" and "Love Is a
Losing Game". It has also been cited as
being a key influence to the widespread popularity of British soul throughout
the late 2000s, paving the musical landscape for artists such as Adele, Duffy, and Estelle.
At the 2008 Grammy
Awards, Back to Black won Best Pop Vocal Album and was also nominated for Album of the
Year. At the same ceremony, Winehouse won four
additional awards, tying her with five other artists as the second-most awarded
female in a single ceremony. The album was also nominated at the 2007 Brit Awards for MasterCard British
Album and was shortlisted for the 2007 Mercury Prize. Back to
Black sold 3.58 million copies in the UK alone, becoming the UK's second best-selling album of the 21st century so far. The album has sold over 16 million copies worldwide.
A deluxe edition of Back to Black was released
in November 2007, containing a bonus disc of B-sides and live
tracks. Winehouse's debut DVD I Told You I Was Trouble: Live in London,
released that same month, includes a live set recorded at Shepherd's
Bush Empire in London and a 50-minute
documentary detailing the singer's career over the previous four years. In
2020, Back to Black was ranked at number 33 on Rolling Stone's list of the
"500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull T-shirt
You say "what did you do it with him
today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly
By the time I'm out the door
You tear me down like Roger Moore
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy
He's in a place, but I can't get joy
Thinking on you in the final throes
This is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet your chips and pita
You say when "we're married"
'Cause you're not bitter
"There'll be none of him no more"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Sweet reunion, Jamaica and Spain
We're like how we were again
I'm in the tub, you on the seat
Lick your lips as I soak my feet
Then you notice little carpet burn
My stomach drop and my guts churn
You shrug and it's the worst
Who truly stuck the knife in first
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
I cheated myself
Like I knew I would
I told you I was troubled
Yeah, you know that I'm no good.
