No tiene una super voz, las letras de sus canciones son bastante standard, su sonido no es precisamente algo fresco y nuevo pero la chica tiene algo que atrae y no me refiero a su errática vida actual. Amy Winehouse ha traído para mucha gente algo del feeling de los 60; soul y Motown pero en pleno siglo XXI.
Su debut se produce en el 2003 con el álbum "Frank" (hecho que parece no haberse tenido en cuenta para recibir este año el Grammy a la mejor artista novel...) y con "Back To Black" en el 2006 se corona como uno de los talentos a seguir... si ella misma se cuida un poco, claro.
Hoy quiero destacar "Tears Dry On Their Own" con ese sample del inolvidable "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" de Ashford & Simpson y que hicieron eterna Marvin Gaye y Tami Terrell. Hay quien ya compara a la joven Winehouse con leyendas como Billie Holiday o Sarah Vaughan, yo no iría tan lejos aún pero espero, deseo, que Amy nos siga ofreciendo su música por mucho tiempo.
"Tears Dry On Their Own" (Ashford, Simpson, Winehouse)
All I can ever be to you,
Is a darkness that we knew,
And this regret I had to get accustomed to,
Once it was so right,
When we were at our high,
Waiting for you in the hotel at night,
I knew I hadn't met my match,
But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached,
It's my responsibility,
And you don't owe nothing to me,
But to walk away I have no capacity
He walks away,
The sun goes down,
He takes the day but I'm grown,
And in this grey, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own,
I don't understand,
Why do I stress A man,
When there's so many better things at hand,
We could a never had it all,
We had to hit a wall,
So this is inevitable withdrawal,
Even if I stop wanting you,
A Perspective pushes thru,
I'll be some next man's other woman soon,
I shouldn't play myself again,
I should just be my own best friend,
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men,
(Chorus)
So we are history,
YOUR shadow covers me
The sky above,
A blaze only that lovers see
(Chorus)
I wish I could SAY no regrets,
And no emotional debts,
And as we kiss goodbye the sun sets,
So we are history,
The shadow covers me,
The sky above a blaze that only lovers see,
(Chorus)
All I can ever be to you,

But every moment we could snatch,
I don't know why I got so attached,

And you don't owe nothing to me,
