Amy Winehouse: Remixes
Release: 2021 UMC/ Island Records
Amy Winehouse was a great talent. A talent that was taken from us far too soon. Her voice, her energy, her charisma, and her unique way of taking a song and making it her own. Not to forget, she was a talented songwriter.
She had an uncanny ability to create alternative contemporary ,music by incorporating elements soul, rhythm and blues, reggae and jazz. Her vocals were sexy, sweet, raw, and real.
Having only released two studio albums before her passing, Frank and Back to Black. Universal Music and Island records found it necessary to remix some of her best songs.
Necessary? Probably not. A success? Only you can be the judge of that.
However, our opinion is that the remixes did not take her songs to a new level. They simply made them more club appropriate.

Released on blue and yellow vinyl, these records are typical for a mass producing company such as UMC.
However, the pressing is surprisingly good. The dynamic range, bass, and detail are better than a typical UMC pressing. Maybe it was Abbey Roads lacquering.
Whatever the case, the pressing is what one would hope for from all big labels. 💰
