Amy Winehouse
Friends of Steemit today we are going to talk about one of my favorite singers even if he is not with us anymore. Amy Winehouse for me was, is and will be the most outstanding female artist of my time, she despite all her problems was above many and I refer is artistically and although she moved through a musical genre with musical records from another era she he put them in force. Let's read a bit of it according to what I got on the web.
Amy Jade Winehouse, was a British singer and composer who stood out for her mixes of different musical genres. Among them, jazz, R & B, soul and ska stand out. She is known as a contralto, vocal record that was described as "acoustically powerful" and "able to express her emotions deeply"
In 2003 he released his debut album Frank, which garnered positive reviews, was nominated for the Mercury Prize and was commercially successful in his native country, United Kingdom. Her second studio album, Back to Black, was published in 2006. For this album the singer won six Grammy Award nominations, of which she won five; among them: Song of the year, Recording of the year and Best new artist.
This fact led her to match the record of awards (five) obtained in one night by an artist, a fact previously achieved by Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones, Alicia Keys and Beyoncé. She is also the first British artist to win five Grammys in one night. This caused him to be in the crosshairs of the media, which became involved in his hectic personal life.
In February 2007 he won the BRIT Award for Best British Artist. He also won a World Music Award and three Ivor Novello Awards, among other prestigious awards. Winehouse was considered a transcendental influence for the rise of the popularity of women dedicated to music, specifically soul music. In the same way he helped strengthen British music, being one of the few soul singers in the contemporary world who have strongly influenced the music industry.
He also received media attention for reasons beyond his voice. Her distinctive style, her tattoos and her beehive
hairstyle made her an inspiration to some fashion designers, such as Karl Lagerfeld. His constant legal problems, his addiction to drugs and alcohol, and his medical complications derived from his self-destructive behavior were the source of headlines since 2007.
She was found dead in her apartment on July 23, 2011, at 27 years of age, after suffering a collapse before the withdrawal syndrome. This was revealed months after his death, which was initially associated with his multiple addictions. His album Back to Black subsequently became the best-selling album of the 21st century in the United Kingdom. In 2012, Winehouse was included in the number 26 in the list of the "100 best women in music" of the VH1 network.
