The heartbreaking creative process of Amy Winehouse
David Hartley | August 13, 2025
Amy Winehouse’s album Back to Black is one of the most heartbreaking albums from the past 25 years. Her incredible creative process, with help from Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, allowed her to take the pain from her life and create some of the most beautiful, honest songs of her generation.
When I saw on the doc that he introduced her to “H” I was appalled & disgusted by him! He was a leach…I wanted to jump through the screen & just take her away from him! Such a talent she was
I was a teenager when Amy’s stuff was coming out, to me at the time it was girl’s music. I also just started playing guitar then, as well. I never realised how incredible she was until I grew up and my musical vocabulary expanded. One of the greatest female artists to ever put out music. Her voice was angelic. Her guitar playing was underrated, too.
Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington's influence on her voice was so very clear. Billie Holiday not so much, until that last song with Tony Bennett, to me at least.
whni first saw amy onthe jools new years eve party and she sang dontgo to strangers,i was like wow!!!!!look at this litte girl kinda bertty poop look cartoon looking cuteand what came out of her mouth …………wow !i was hooked !rip amy ,you weretrying alittle atatime ,i wished you had made it back to health and you ,but you werejsut abouthere ,ripand well you tried your best ,,i consider you a longlost friend through your music amy ,still listening ,cause soemof us canrelate to your songs
No comparison to Amy. I love everything she did and amazing that so much of her music was never recorded. I was surprised she was disappointed with Frank. Rest in peace Amy. You are always missed and never forgotten 🤍🕊️🤍
I was in high school when Back to Black came out. I don't remember hearing much of it other than Rehab. That song itself was huge, but other than that, I don't remember much hype around her in my little town that was just a pool of different genres (country, rap, rock, metal, etc.) And sadly it wasn't until after she had passed a few years later that I decided to listen to the album. I was genuinely impressed with it and grew sad for the poor girl. I didn't know her or her story but felt like I wished I could've just hugged her.
I come back to it now and then. Currently on a loop of it when I found your video. Very well done, mate.
I think it's interesting how 21 became the number for the hip hop deaths much younger 27 is the rock star death what intrests me is both numbers have extreme importance in nurmoligy and dare I say free masons hmm were those deaths just tragic young death of great artist are is there another reason I really don't know but the fact still remains that both numbers hold true meaning in the dark arts are light arts whatever you want to call it 😂

Back To Black is still the greatest album of 2000s by a female artist in my opinion

Wrote every lyric, wrote all of her music using jazz chords, did her own arrangements and sang the shit out of every song.

If she were unashamedly herself she wouldn't have needed a man who was weaker than her.

I just wish this album will be remastered one day because the clipping is just over the top.

I makes me angry that the whole world knew her path was going to kill her – the WHOLE WORLD – yet no one saved her…..

Amy was the Jimi Hendrix of vocals.
God I miss her.
