Amy Winehouse showed impressive musical prowess from a young age Amy Winehouse | Daniel Boczarski/Redferns According to an interview Winehouse did with the Guardian in 2004, one of them was so painful she couldn’t keep it in her house, and refused to listen to all the tracks. During her time on Earth, Winehouse recorded just two studio albums.

What we've written about Amy Winehouse Some of these items are still available to buy.Amy Winehouse provided the world with enough material to keep talking about her for generations. Her legend lives on, not least in the form of Adele, Lana Del Rey, and Billie Eilish - artists who mark an experimental edge in a pop sensibility, while never diminishing the essence of who they are. Winehouse’s life was tragically cut short in 2011 after a drawn-out battle with alcoholism.

There was something for the heads, something for the Radio 2 listeners, something for a Glastonbury festival-goer, and something for a Norman Records customer - a true crossover hit. There are hooks in there - “you try to make me go to rehab, I said nooo no no” and “my tears dry on their ooooown” - that you could mortgage an album on. Packed to the gills with hits, this album catapulted Winehouse to international stardom. Although ‘Frank’ firmly set Winehouse on the path to success, more was to follow… much more.Ģ006 saw the release of ‘ Back To Black’, an album that can rightly be called a modern classic. A heady brew of Motown, R&B, soul and the swagger of hip-hop, it garnered massive success and earned her nominations at the BRIT Awards and Ivor Novellos. She released her debut album ‘ Frank’ at the tender age of twenty. Winehouse was able to achieve that magical alchemy of creative exploration, pop hooks, critical success, all the while looking like she never gave a flying proverbial. She co-wrote and recorded some of the 21st century’s most iconic tunes such as ‘Rehab’, ‘Back To Black’, and ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’. Tonally complex, deep and rich, wholly expressive but never exaggerated, you hear an Amy Winehouse song and it can only be her.

Amy Winehouse had a once-in-a-generation voice.
