BY DANA SCOTT / FEBRUARY 27, 2018
When Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27, the music community was shaken to its core after losing one of its boldest vocalists. Early in her short-lived career, the beehive-haired British singer’s musical hybrid of R&B, Jazz, retro-Soul and Hip-Hop on her 2003 debut album Frank gained Winehouse much critical acclaim. But her meteoric rise to international stardom came from her sophomore 2006 LP, Back To Black, led by her chart-topping singles “You Know I’m No Good” and “Rehab.”
Following her July 2011 death, Winehouse’s Universal Music Group record label boss David Joseph vowed not to release any more of her music. In an interview with Billboard, Joseph cited that releasing her music would be immoral to Amy’s legacy. “It was a moral thing. Taking a stem or a vocal is something that would not happen under my watch. It now can’t happen on anyone else’s.”
