Amy Winehouse – Artist Profile
You can always get stuck in her beehive or be taken aback by some of her manners. However, in so riding on the surface of the lady, you will be losing out on the real deal, the real her. She’s not just a voice, she’s a feeling, unapolegitically betraying and exorcising every string of raw emotion within, no matter how unpretty and almost, seemingly, brushing against the derisory. She’s not a simple technique but an uncalculated and authentic talent. Her personality stamps her song with a wittingly clever (yet subtle) lyric and a rendition that imposes its style and makes each song unique and her own. She is Amy Winehouse.
Amy Winehouse in ten songs:
