Amy Winehouse

Amy Winehouse is one of those artists I cannot listen to casually. That smoky contralto, the jazz phrasing, the brutally autobiographical lyrics — her songs still sound like confessions overheard through a wall. What strikes me most is how complete she already was as a writer at such a young age; the 2008 Grammy for Best New Artist barely captures it. Her death at 27 in 2011 turned her into a myth, but I prefer to remember the craft: a London girl who fused soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz into something nobody has convincingly imitated since. Few catalogues this small cast a shadow this long.
