Dear beloved Amy Winehouse,
You are truly missed by those who got to witness your achievements and also the interesting aspects of your life behind the music. Due to your versatile sound, you appealed to so many people. Your sound consisted of characteristics from different genres such as R&B, jazz, soul and reggae, just to name of a few. All of your albums have been very successful, including your sophomore album, Back to Black. It’s amazing, how you were nominated for six Grammy awards for that album and won five of them, including three out of the “Big Four” for Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. [4] The album’s contemporary R&B sound and clever, heartfelt lyrics gained the attention of song critics everywhere. I wish it didn’t have to be the last album you actually produced before your saddening death, but the posthumous release of Lioness: Hidden Treasures was also close to perfection. [3] As a fan, it was a good feeling to be exposed to unreleased songs and demos by you. Although it was not as popular and successful as Back to Black, I think I speak for many of your fans when I say that it was sufficient in your work. Your voice and guitar skills are highly impressive and you musical legacy will last a lifetime. [1]
I hate the fact that you had to die at such a young age. Seeing a chain of destructive behavior from you was really disheartening. Normally, when you see a series of drug and alcohol from celebrities, it doesn’t conclude well. It is so unfortunate that you were another example of this. [2] Although this was the most negative aspect of your life, there are a few positive aspects about the situation. Your example could possibly save someone else’s life. Someone may be able to use you as an example and not make similar choices as you once did. Observing someone who is so interesting and talented pass away at such a young age from the malice of drugs and alcohol is always spirit dampening.
Thanks to your...
