Music Review: Amy Winehouse

    Amy Winehouse was a British singer who was born in 1983 in London. She is a songwriter known for her loud voice and her interesting choice to make jazz, R&B, and soul music. She then released her first album, Frank, in 2003, which received not a lot of attention. It was her second album, Back to Black in 2006, that made her start to gain more and more attention. Some songs that received a lot of love were “Rehab,” “You Know I’m No Good,” and “Back to Black.” The album won multiple awards, including five Grammys, and is considered one of the greatest of all time. She struggled with addiction and mental health issues, which were often spoken about on social media. Her personal struggles took over her career, and she tragically passed away from alcohol poisoning in 2011 at the age of 27. Even after her death, her music continues to inspire artists, and she remains a beautiful figure in modern music history.
    Amy Whinehouse is one of the most beautiful, kindhearted people I have ever read about. One of my favorite lyrics she sang was, “I don’t know why I got so attached.” I relate to this so much because I get attached to people that hurt me. Her music is very upbeat and is like jazz music with an upbeat dramatic band playing. After hearing about her death, I did a lot of research on old videos and pictures and you can see the genuine struggle in her facial expressions. It is the most heartbreaking experience to watch someone struggle and especially a popular influencer/artist. Her music was upbeat and she always put effort into her songs that helped people get through things and relate to what she had to say.  For more information visit one of the websites www.wikipedia.org, www.biography.org or www.google.org.
