Who else could write a song as subtly damning as ‘I Heard Love Is Blind’, on which she admits to cheating on her partner just because the opportunity presented itself.

Though her jazzy debut album ‘Frank’ saw her chucked in a studio with professional songwriters she didn’t really need, the quality of her voice and vision still shine through.

In Winehouse’s case, it’s ‘Valerie’ at wedding discos, ‘Rehab’ if a TV producer wants to highlight her spiky side and ‘Back To Black’ when it’s time to ponder her tragic demise. The two proper albums are still incredibleĮven the greatest artists see their legacy boiled down to a few iconic songs. Promoters Live Nation eventually cut it short, blaming “the rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy has been under in recent weeks”. Later that year, she embarked on a disastrous UK tour that was marred by audience walk-outs and reports of Winehouse being too intoxicated to perform. Crucially, through, it was recorded a few months before fatigue really set in. Recorded live at Shepherd’s Bush Empire in May 2007, the live album doesn’t capture Winehouse at her electrifying peak – though she sounds terrific and her band is tack-sharp, her energy levels are already beginning to slip. The remixes are actually well worth a listen Still, at least that one’s easy to find on Spotify.
Other notable omissions include Winehouse’s suitably wracked rendition of ‘I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus’, which will be appearing on all the classiest Christmas playlists this year.
Her various BBC sessions don’t appear here either, and have already been compiled into a couple of previous posthumous releases. If you want to own her B-sides, you’ll have to buy ‘The Singles Collection’ – yet another box set, which dropped just a week ago. That said, this doesn’t mean the box set brings together everything Winehouse ever recorded. ‘The Collection’ also features 15 previously released remixes by the likes of Hot Chip, Mylo and MJ Cole: collectors will already have them, but more casual fans should find the reworked tidbits interesting. It’s the same gig that was taped for that year’s ‘I Told You I Was Trouble: Live in London’ DVD, but this is the first time it’s been released on CD and vinyl.

It feels pretty comprehensive, but by no means definitiveĪlongside Winehouse’s still-slightly-underrated debut album ‘Frank’, her flawless modern classic ‘Back To Black’ and the ‘Lioness’ compilation, the box set includes a full live show recorded in 2007. There’s no previously unreleased material here, though, suggesting the vaults might now have been locked up for good. It turns out he wasn’t being disingenuous: ‘Lioness’ remains Winehouse’s only odds-and-sods posthumous release, though a few extra rarities were included on 2015’s Amy documentary soundtrack. When the posthumous album ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures’ dropped in 2011, Winehouse producer Salaam Remi reassured fans this wasn’t the start of a “Tupac situation”. Here’s everything you need to know about it. Since she died in 2011, the Winehouse vaults haven’t exactly been milked dry – perhaps because there’s actually very little in them – so a new box set called ‘The Collection’ feels like an event. Winehouse’s seismic musical impact stands in direct contrast to her slender back catalogue, which comprises just two studio albums: 2003’s ‘Frank’ and 2006’s incendiary ‘Back To Black’. The songs I got signed on were the songs that I wrote completely on my own – if it wasn’t for her, that wouldn’t have happened.” Adele has said that she owes “90 percent of her career” to her fellow Londoner, telling a crowd in 2016: “Because of her, I picked up a guitar and because of her, I wrote my own songs.
Eight-and-a-half years after her tragic death at age 27, Amy Winehouse remains a highly revered figure who’s been hailed as an influence by everyone from Lady Gaga to Lana Del Rey.
