DO YOU MISS AMY WINEHOUSE? LISTEN TO THIS UNRELEASED DEMO

The music world mourns Amy Winehouse. Since her death in 2011, fans have been upset that we will never hear new music from her again. She was one of my favorite artists and I usually spend a lot of my time listening to her old music. When demos get resurfaced it is always a great surprise that reminds us of the influence she had.

The demo “My Own Way” was reportedly recorded in composer and musician Gil Cang’s studio in 2001.

In 2015, it was announced that at least 14 unreleased demos were destroyed when she died. They decided not to release it because Winehouse couldn’t sign off on it.

David Joseph, then chairman/CEO of Universal Music U.K decided on February 25th, 2018 to finally release a demo for her fans and with or without her consent. 

He stated,

“I’ve had it knocking about for so long. I found it again last week and thought – I’ll put it out there so people could hear it.”

I think the highlight of this song is the opening as she sings:

“I’ve never been in love before, such a foolish thing to me, seems to me the price is high, so I’ll keep my own company, and I’ll do what I want when I feel.”

Then the track breaks out into the chorus for the most of the song. It is a chill track that you should listen to with candles lit. Even though Winehouse didn’t sign off on the release, I feel like she would be proud of it.

Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse.
Your music has left its mark on this world.
