Troubled Soul: Amy Winehouse, 1983-2011 (New Yorker)
I saw Amy Winehouse play live only once, at the Highline Ballroom, on the
lower west side of Manhattan, in 2008. Her second album, “Back to Black” was
peaking in America, though to the headliner, this seemed irrelevant. It is not
obvious how to describe her performance. Backed by a band largely from the
Dap-Tone Records stable, she seemed impatient. She was no train wreck–nothing
of the sort–but she stood still, and oddly so, occasionally sipping water and
swaying little. Why wasn’t she happier? Her album was catching fire in America
and her career was in the ascendant. Why was she not more excited?
Winehouse went through the album, dutifully, and for the purposes of this
show, there was little from her first album. A shambling cabaret debut,
“Frank” was a high-school yearbook photo, something better left to
conversation than to the canon. “Back to Black” was no joke, though; with
producer Mark Ronson, Winehouse had summoned the feel and sound of sixties
soul, along with millions of biddable listeners. The album spread among the
young but also to an older demographic that trusted that sound.
Winehouse made American soul a viable category, even though …
