Amy Winehouse: Iconic Style & Timeless Sound

Celebrating her memory.

POSTED BY VALENTINA HENRIQUES

Amy Winehouse was beyond a great vocal powerhouse, she was a vibrant, beaming star in the musical universe who carved her way through some memorable hits and unforgettable style. With a voice that went from soulful sadness to jazzy joy, Amy's music was a journey of raw emotion that resonated with millions.

Her style was just as iconic as it was unique. Picture her with a towering beehive updo that defied gravity, bold eyeliner framing her soulful eyes, and those flirty pin-up outfits, together with her tattoos that told stories all on their own and added a rebel vibe to her look. She created a delightful, intoxicating mix of old-school glam and contemporary edge, both of which set her apart from everyone else in an industry, which is perhaps too overcrowded with conformity

Amy's songs were a pure reflection of her soul. She often included heartbreaking material in her lyrics, helping fans around the world to find themselves. Hits like "Rehab", "Back to Black" and "You Know I'm No Good," did not just top the charts, but they became anthems that defined a generation. She mixed jazz, soul, and R&B together, to create a sound of her own, highlighted by a distinctive voice. Listening to Amy’s music is like entering a secret world of intense passion, pain, and gripping beauty.

Off stage, Amy was an intensely complex individual. She battled with her personal demons and rose to fame very quickly. Through it all, she exuded authenticity, and fans loved her for being a reflection of the vulnerability inside her. Her art was real, and it was raw, making her music that much more powerful and authentic.

A Winehouse legacy lives on through her timeless music, but also through her way of being an artist. She stood apart from others in her music and style and gave this incredible gift back to the world. 

Here's to Amy, a female artist who never shied away from putting her heart into her music and a style icon whose impact will never lose its hold. That girl with the beehive hair and the golden voice, is dearly missed but will never be forgotten.
