When is amy winehouse new album

Reclaiming Amy will be narrated by Winehouse's mother Janis Winehouse-Collins and will include the singer-songwriter's father, Mitch, as a guest interviewee. The BBC Two description reads: "Marking the ten year anniversary of the death of Amy Winehouse, her closest family and friends, including mum Janis and dad Mitch, reveal the truth about the British music icon.

A previous press release explained that Winehouse's mother wants to be able to tell Amy's story in her own words before her Multiple Sclerosis progresses. Mitch said it would give fans a new insight into how she developed as a songwriter.

Janis added that, if the music were to be salvaged for release, it could be called "The Progression of Amy". The music is one of several projects Amy's estate is working on, including a dramatised film of her life and a stage musical. However, her parents admitted that, after Amy's death, it had initially been difficult for them to hear her music or see videos of her performing.

It's only been relatively recently that I've been able to do that. For Janis, however, those reminders of Amy help to keep her memory alive.

We'll be listening to the radio: Amy. Watching TV: Amy. It's always nice. It's always nice to hear Amy. The couple, who split up when Amy was about 10 years old, were speaking to the BBC in a rare joint interview ahead of the 10th anniversary of Amy's death.

Her professional trajectory was not unfamiliar: burning talent; vertiginous success; a tumultuous personal life; addiction; media intrusion; and death at the age of Heavy drinking, drug use, disordered eating, arrests, fist fights, a failed marriage and a scattering of chaotic performances characterised her final years. All added to her fascination among a rubber-necking press and public. A decade on, the prevalent narrative surrounding Winehouse is one of self-destruction and the tragedy of her ending — but she was too important an artist to let that be the whole story.

From the vantage point of , one might imagine Winehouse as having been a musical outlier, her untouchability as an artist putting her on an elevated and rarefied plane. But while Winehouse may have trodden a well-worn path towards mainstream success, in other ways she was entirely unique. For starters, she made no attempt to play the media game; in fact, she delighted in sabotaging it. When I interviewed her in , after the release of her first album but before she went stratospheric with her second, she greeted me with her arms folded, and told me her time would be better spent at home waiting for the plumber to fix the washing machine.

As she said all this, sitting in a tapas restaurant down the road from her Camden flat, her publicist squirmed. Rarely have I met an artist so resolutely and thrillingly off-message.
