So I’m thrilled when the song finally picks up the pace, and Winehouse finally displays the range in her voice. I love this song, and it’s one of my favorites because of the gradual shift in tone I’m not a huge fan of slow and melancholy songs. After the third verse, where the guy admits his feelings to Winehouse, the song shifts significantly more energetic as Winehouse belts out the chorus in a more lively and robust manner than the other two choruses. The song starts slow, similar to “Stronger Than Me,” but gradually gets more upbeat. The beat is slow, while Winehouse retains a stern tone that demands her former boyfriend to “man up,” encapsulating the anger and struggle she kept in during the relationship.Īfterward, “You Sent Me Flying,” details Winehouse’s journey of flirting and losing interest as soon as her love interest wants to take it to the next level. She realizes the relationship roles have been reversed now Winehouse is the more dominant one in the couple rather than Taylor. In this song, Winehouse wishes for her early partner, Chris Taylor, to be manlier and tougher.

Next, we get into the second song, which features actual lyrics, “Stronger Than Me.” This song did an excellent job of introducing Frank and the themes Winehouse sings about throughout the album, including a failing relationship and looking for new love. This gives off a warm feeling as if you’ve just entered somebody’s home and you’re immediately feeling the coziness and love wrapped around you. Recently, I finally listened to her debut album Frank, and I was overwhelmed with the emotions Winehouse carried in these songs. The album starts with a simple song titled “Intro.” It has a simple beat, and Winehouse is scat singing. Therefore, I never had a chance to delve deeper into Winehouse’s discography past a few of her popular songs.

Throughout my life, I’ve always liked Amy Winehouse I loved how high and low her voice went when she sang, her eyeliner and her fun and creative tattoos that proudly displayed the woman she is.īut due to me only listening to what was on the radio and then having a severe emo phase in middle school, I never stepped outside of two comfort genres in my early adolescence: pop and indie. Even after her sudden passing in 2o11, her music is still played throughout America every day. Amy Winehouse was one of the most impactful and influential artists in the R&B, soul and jazz industry.
