Explained simply
Amy Winehouse was a British singer and songwriter whose music drew on soul and doo-wop, styles rooted in earlier Black American popular music. She rose to wide recognition with her second album, Back to Black, which was released in 2006 and included the song “You Know I’m No Good”.
Much of the album took shape at Metropolis Studios in west London, where Winehouse also recorded early demos. Its mix of older musical influences and contemporary pop production helped it reach a broad audience and made it one of the UK’s best-selling albums of the 21st century.
