Amy Winehouse Tickets Continued
Amy Winehouse was born into a family with a history of jazz musicians. She grew up in
the suburb of Southgate, North London, and attended Ashmole School. Amy Winehouse's
debut album, Frank, was released in October 2003. It was produced mainly by Salaam
Remi with many songs having jazz-influences and, apart from two covers, every song was
co-written by Amy Winehouse. The album received positive reviews with compliments
over the "cool, critical gaze" in its (sometimes explicit) lyrics and brought comparisons of her voice
to, amongst others, Sarah Vaughan and Macy Gray. The
album entered the upper levels of the UK album chart in 2004 when it was nominated for Brit
Awards in the categories of "British Female Solo Artist" and "British Urban Act". It went on to sell
platinum. Later in 2004, she won the Ivor Novello songwriting Award for "Best Contemporary Song"
with her contribution to the first single, "Stronger Than Me" (alongside Salaam Remi). The album
also made the short list for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. In the same year, she performed at the
Glastonbury
Festival, on the Jazzworld stage, and at the V Festival.
Back to Black, Amy Winehouse's second album, was released in October
2006, a little more than three years since the release of Frank. The first single released from
the album was "Rehab", a song about her past refusal to attend an alcohol rehabilitation centre
after it was encouraged by her management company. The second single from the album was
"You Know I'm No Good".
