Amy Winehouse was “the person that made it all happen” on each of her songs.
The late singer’s posthumous ‘Lioness: Hidden treasures’ album is released today (05.12.11), and although many of the songs on it weren’t finished when she died from accidental alcohol poisoning in July, producer Salaam Remi told how she always wrote her own material and had a clear picture of how she wanted her songs to sound.
He told Vibe.com: “People think you got some beats with all the cool people and you know you’re just the girl that sings and is making a train wreck out of yourself.
“But she was actually a creator of situations and the person that made it all happen.
“She played the guitar. All of these songs were written by Amy on a guitar and then produced. Amy wrote the chords to the majority of her songs. ‘Love Is A Losing Game’, ‘Unholy War’, all of those are 100 per cent Amy.”
Salaam -one of the producers who worked on The Fugees ‘The Score’ album – also told how he cancelled his plans to retire when he heard Amy sing for the first time.
He explained: “I was like, ‘I just moved to Miami, it’s my 30th birthday, leave me alone. I’m sitting retired, this better be good.’ I wasn’t really looking to do anything. I was ready to stop.
“So she walks in and I didn’t even know what she looked like. She pulls out a guitar and starts singing ‘Girl From Ipanema’ and it lit up the whole room and I was like, ‘Oh, you can sing.’”
The track is infused with jazz-inspired instrumentals, featuring a catchy trumpet riff that adds depth and character to the song. Winehouse's soulful voice effortlessly navigates through the melodies, painting a vivid picture of the emotional rollercoaster she experiences in the relationship depicted in the lyrics. One of the defining aspects of "Mr. Magic" is the raw vulnerability that Winehouse brings to the table. With her unfiltered expressions of pain and longing, she invites listeners into her world, allowing them to connect with her on a deep emotional level. Although not released as a single, "Mr. Magic" remains a fan favorite and a testament to Winehouse's unique musical style. The song perfectly encapsulates her ability to blend different genres while remaining authentic to her own artistic vision. Tragically, Amy Winehouse's life was cut short in 2011, leaving a void in the music industry. However, her impact and influence continue to be felt through her timeless music, with songs like "Mr. Magic" serving as a reminder of her exceptional talent. In conclusion, "Mr. Magic" is a standout track from Amy Winehouse's debut album that showcases her distinct musical style and powerful vocals. The song remains a testament to her talent and serves as a lasting reminder of her contribution to the music world..
