Introducing Amy Winehouse

February 22, 2008 mat014

Amy Winehouse is a singer-songwriter that has a distinct voice of the soul, jazz and R&B style.  Even though she debuted herself first in the United Kingdom in 2003, she recently has become a huge success in the United States with her hit, “Rehab”.  She has a “old” jazz voice that reminds me of such greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.  Her single that I currently enjoy now is “You Know I’m No Good”, her second hit off of her top-of the chart album, “Back to Black”.  Many of her songs reflect her raspy and unique voice that accompanies interesting rhythm and beats.  The song is an original and is based on fictional characters.  I like this song because it is not as over-played as “rehab”, but also that I think it displays more of a jazz-style like the African-American women’s style that we have been studying in class.

    I love Amy Winehouse too. I think artists like her and Corine Bailey Rae bring that old jazz sound into a new generation and attract younger listeners.
