TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 What do people think of Amy Winehouse's new single rehab? I heard it on the radio and thought it was ace (loving the Motown feel), only to find out that it was her. Previously, I had lumped Ms. Winehouse in with the coma inducing jazz like inoffensive poopery of Katie Melua and Nora Jones, but it seems I could be wrong. A friend of mine has bought her new album and says it's the bee's knees, but is he correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of people go for a retro feel, but this track genuinely sounds like it was recorded in the 60s, amazing job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MKII Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Are the drums samples?The track is rather cool, like a nice old 60's dusty springfield song, but it doesn't seem to go anywhere or do anything different after you have heard each section. There's no dynamics to it at all, almost as if the few sections are just sequenced and repeated. It sounds old, but at the same time too overly perfect.

Jim Stax Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Saw her perform live on the telly a couple of weeks back. It was one of the worst things I have heard in a long time. Over cooking the vox just a tad. Very messy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam the Eagle Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 When's she's not completely drugged off her face she has a fantastic voice. She's certainly shown Christina Aguilera a thing or two about how to make a proper motown inspired record.and she's got big hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluesxman Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 She looks a tad like an anorexic giraffe these days. Not heard the song. Her first albums a fiver in FOPP the now if anyone's interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Pel Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 I like that song, but its pissing me off due to massive overplay on BBC 6 radio.Her eye make-up annoys me more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam the Eagle Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Her eye make-up annoys me more though.YES! It looks to me like it should gloop into the corner of her eye too. I'd hate to see her towards the end of an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfe Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 previously i'd hated all i heard of her, she seemed incapable of pronouncing words, like she only sang in vowels, but i quite like this new track too, may pick up the album and see if it's better than the last.

SuperMike! Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 My mate beat her at pool recently."Rehab" is pretty decent. Couldn't stand anything off her last album, but that was because Island went into overkill with their paid-for plays on Virgin Megastores Radio. She got played at pretty much exactly the same time every Saturday and Sunday for several months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gasss Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The production and voice are ace. Gash song though.MKII, this is what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I highly recomend her first album, I bought it when it first came out and it's one of my favourite albums. I wouldn't label her as 'inoffensive jazz poop' like Melua or Jones, her music has a lot more to say than either of those two. I really like Rehad I haven't bought her new album yet but probably will today, I heard her say she's dropped the jazz sound for it and gone for a 60s girl group sound on this album which i like the sound of.In short - Winehouse - brilliant.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted November 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 I had a quick listen to her album last night (not even the whole way through) and I was rather impressed. She has a really good voice and the production is really cool as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, me too but still nae a pretty lass at her best.Needs some 'deen pies down her gob. Works two fold: Gets her back up to 6 stone and stops her singing.

Mirth Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 When's she's not completely drugged off her face she has a fantastic voice. She's certainly shown Christina Aguilera a thing or two about how to make a proper motown inspired record.and she's got big hair.I really like Amy Winehouse's new music, just watched her on Jools Holland. Christina wasn't trying to make a motown record, her album has a general jazz sound to some of the songs but others are completely different. Christina has an amazing voice, far superior to most of her contemporaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
