She was extremely proud of Frank however she wasn’t 100% happy with the production and track list, or how it was marketed. She didn’t try and disown Frank, it’s just that she was past that era in her life and was tired of it, just like she eventually got tired of Back to Black. She was over B2B by 2009 however her record label / manager basically forced her to continue touring those songs in 2011 but she was keen to move onto her next sound / era. She was a true artist and would never be 100% happy with her work, always self critical and wanting to do better. She recorded demos for a reggae album in 2009, however the record label made her scrap those and they wanted her to make another Back to Black. I don’t think Amy would ever be truly happy recreating something she’d already done, just because it sells (they had no idea B2B would be a smash when she recorded it). She once said she’s at least a five trick pony.
omg, are these demos accessible somehow?
I read that someone stole Amy's laptop with demos so I think that maybe someone have these.
@@JoMaelle i'm pretty sure mitxh said someone destroyed them - he was unhappy because he wanted to release them, but apparently the person destroyed them because he didn't want to exploit amy in death.
@WithADashOfPazazz funny because all he ever did was exploit her
Frank changed my life even before I could relate to most of what she sang about on that album. Rest in peace, Amy. You are sorely missed.
She was brilliant. Fun fact we were born in the same hospital Chase Farm hospital in north London.
Frank is actually my favorite album of hers. It shows Amy’s cheeky humor, her romantic side, the depth of her musical influences, the light and airy side of her personality, etc. I wish we could’ve gotten another album from her that showed that light side of her soul, but she gave us so much in such a short amount of time. I love how Amy was such a true artist and took such pride in her work. We didn’t deserve her 🩷
in my bed, stronger than me, what is it about men, & f me pumps >>>
wish we got a 3rd album from her. i miss her so much.
It is the fact she was about to start drafting it only for her passing a day or two later; she also wanted to go back to jazz again. She seemed on the road to recovery only for her body to give in after everything...Amy was taken from us too soon.
Amy Amy Amy is cute too!
IN MY BED IS THE BEST AMY SONG BY FAAAAR.
In my bed I LOVE! But also take the box is quite underrated
@@Sitka46 YES, YES, YES.
In My Bed is my favorite Amy song point blank. She is truly missed.😢
Frank is a great album. “Know You Now” is one of my favorites from it. It’s sad to know she didn’t like the album as much.
Yesss know you now is amazing
Omg I love that song
Salaam Remi is a god the way he was able to flip that Apache sample for Amy and for Nas (made you look).. both being absolute smashes is so dope to me..the saxophone outro on in my bed always sends me to another realm..just gorgeous..both songs are amazing..he doesn’t get enough props as a producer and has been responsible for so many iconic songs
YES! Salaam and his talent is not appreciated enough
I am so blessed that I got to see Amy perform live 3 times here in NYC before alll the drinking and stuff got out of hand..the first time was at Joes Pub..it was a music industry only showcase (I worked in radio back then) and it was her first time in the states..she did a short set like 15 mins..this was when “you know I’m no good” first dropped and had the remix w Ghostface Killah and one w Jayz..she sounded amazing..I saw her at the high line ballroom and I believe she performed You Sent me flying or Know You Now..I forget which one but it was iconic…I wish I could’ve seen her perform “In my bed” I think I would’ve cried..I still have my stub from Joes Pub as a memory..her death hurt ..her music got me thru some situations..I wish she was here now..I know she would’ve done some amazing things
Jay Z is always around, reminds me before Aaliyah passing away
I envy you for that, I wished I had a chance to see her but I was a teenager with no money. I can only imagine what she was like in person.
I love Frank and tend to play it more than Back to Black but I'm slacking off with vinyls. I bought the CDs when they released damn ancient times
I love Amy! I keenly remember listening to Love is a Losing Game for hours on the drive home from seeing my grandfather for the last time time before his passing. It was sad, but healing.
Anywho, I like the demo/remixes version of Frank. It includes a Fool's Gold and a demo of Someone to Watch Over Me. Sooo good--jazzy, moody, and sultry...all in one!
I remember when I was 9 years old and my mom had the Back to Black Cd and played it on repeat and I remember every lyric to every song. This is also the same time where the AMY documentary had came out and I remember being soo crushed when I found out that she had passed away. I love Frank and Black to Black equally. She was a gift and a truly talented artist and it’s a shame that her addictions and her demons overcame her. Idk hiw to feel about her biopic that’s coming out this year, I personally think the 2015 documentary does Amy justice but we’ll have to see. Love your videos Honest!❤️🫶🏾
I wonder if Amy would have revisited 'Frank' later in her life and 'Reimagined' the music to suit her original or updated Vision for her lyrics. There would have been so many possibilities and Music to enjoy. p.s 'F**k Me Pumps' Is my JAM! Listen to it, you'll love it!
Got Frank the week it came out & wore it out. Great album, I might prefer it to back to black. Take the box and stronger than me are 🔥
In my Bed and You Sent Me Flying were my ALL TIME FAVES
Same
I literally cannot stop listening to in my bed
Also cherry
IN MY BED IS THE BEST.
You sent me flying/cherry
F*ck me pumps
I heard love is blind
(There is) no greater love
Take the box
What is it about men
^^ these are all tied for my favorite 😆
I love this album more than Back to Black. Back to Black was her gift to the world and her magnum opus, but I prefer Frank because it’s a lot more intimate, and it has a lot more of her own touches in the production. It was also one of the very first albums I immersed myself in and truly experienced as a whole.
RIP to a beautiful, broken soul 🤍🕊️
maybe it’s just me but I feel like franks accolades as an AMAZING album are still to come… hopefully, her music will rise as the one and only reason she’ll ever be remembered for
ps: North Sea jazz festival just released her full set, 2004 czcams.com/video/68PqecMtkU0/video.htmlsi=h2BUd5y2Rfma6YbF
I love her album Frank and my favourite song on that album is In My Bed
The last minute and a half is transcending
and in my opinion it's even better than back to black! so honest, gritty, youthful and original.
It’s funny that this video was posted because I just discovered this album and it’s one of my most played albums this year so far. I think it’s better than Back To Black and I’m going to get the vinyl for it one day. I was surprised to find out Amy wasn’t a fan of her debut. In My Bed and Take The Box are two of her best songs, period.
I really hope her upcoming biopic does her justice
it definitely won’t, unfortunately :( i feel it will be another ‘Blonde’ (the supposed biopic of Marilyn Monroe), just trying to capitalise on her pain and the horrors she went through in her life. another awful trauma porn film.
My favorite song from Frank is Stronger Than Me. When I first saw the title, I was confused because Amy Winehouse released only two albums and initially thought her album was one of her posthumous ones. I hope her biopic coming out in 3 months will be good because I don't want it to be the next Blonde.
Loved that song but looking back on it - not a fan of the “are you gay” line - but it was common at the time to talk like that
I don't remember her saying that, I only remember the chorus and hook.
@__rm307 Wdym? She spends the entire chorus calling her man "lady boy" that line fits perfectly
@@__rm307it was a humorous approach to the wide known practice of straight men thinking gay men are less men in general. Nothing wrong with it in my opinion especially when Amy herself had romantic affairs with women
This album deserves its flowers! Back to Black is indeed “better” (albeit only slightly) but this album was so impactful in its own way. My favorites are (There Is) No Greater Love and In My Bed 🇬🇧🖤
i love this woman with all my heart. wish she was still here 🖤.
both of her albums were legendary. frank and back to black truly paved the way for artists nowadays, i can name many artists influenced by amy. Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Lorde, Adele, Etc. Amy is one of those once in a lifetime artists that will never be forgotten ❤️
I will always prefer Frank to Back To Black. Probably because B2B has so much sadness in it... its very good but I just prefer Frank.
As a teenager, I roamed all the cd shops trying to get it.
I love Frank! It’s such a great album so many great songs! Stronger than me, f me pumps and she looked so healthy 😢
Edit: I remember I had downloaded a handful of songs on limewire that I can’t find anywhere now.
i was literraly listening to fuck me pumps and your video just popped up😄
I'm almost always listening to her.
Have y'all seen the trailer for the biopic? I am her biggest fan and I'm honestly excited for it.
Yes, I have. They look decent, but I'm very skeptical as I feel like the movie will be the next Blonde.
Her speaking out about the creative direction largely reminded me of Kesha's experience with her warrior album, specifically with the overproduction part
Fuck Me Pumps is a bop! The talent on this girl, her voice was just out of this world! She will always be missed.
Love your videos and thanks for making this! Frank is my all time favorite album, sad she didn't love it as much.
I love the Frank album. It doesn’t have the same raw emotion as back to black but it shows her fun cheeky side. F*ck me pumps is a top 5 favorite song of mine because it’s fun and silly but a genuinely good song about those vain girls who use their looks to get ahead in life and nothing else.
I think when you hear both albums you get her duality.
I really loved this album and it made me fall in love with her music❤️.
I love the album frank October song is my favorite from the album but this is one of my most favorite albums to date.
This album is just great.
I always go to it when I want to listen to some Amy songs. Fuck me pumps, October song.
Lyrically and sonically, I prefer Frank, but Back to Back is great too.
It’s all about musical taste, but it’s sad she had limited imput for Frank.
Another Amy video! Love to see it!
I remember Amy Winehouse, she used to hang out the Good Mixer Pub and Hawley Arms in Camden, London. I remember a friend would call me out to come out, Amy is play pool in the Good Mixer. Very sad when she died. What was also upsetting, a lot of her unreleased tracks stored in her home were stolen. They will never see the light of day, unless somebody comes forward with the recordings.
Frank is my favorite Album of her.
Bumping every single week
Frank has some hidden gems like no greater love (in my top 5 favorite songs by her), i heard love is blind, mr magic and more
Thank you honest ❤
Frank album inspired Adele to played a guitar, and Take The Box is still Adele's fav song and she said she loved FRANK over Back To Black too!
I actually love Frank! Such a fabulous and unique album!
I remember rented Frank from the library about the time her second album was released, I could not understand why I didn't know these songs I thought it was so good.
I appreciate seeing all the love for Amy. ❤❤❤ An original talent.
I listen to this album everyday ❤
I didn’t know she wasn’t happy with Frank. It’s a much, much, much superior album to Back to Black. I was obsessed with that album when it came out but I lost interest in Amy when Back to Black dropped because I didn’t like that album at all… as it turned out, BTB ended up blowing her into the stratosphere and I didn’t pay much attention to Amy after that.
That’s weird because Back to Black is still an amazing album.
@@morganmarshall7534 It’s always been a tad overproduced for me. I’ve probably listened to it in its entirety twice. Frank, I’m pretty sure has gotten over a hundred plays in my house.
@@oronbabaI was never a fan of Amy because I thought she only made music like Back To Black. I was so shocked and impressed listening to Frank. I wish she made more albums like that
@@emmytea-uv5ne I feel you. Back to Black just feels to much like that artificial soul sound that was popular at that time (Duffy et al) but Frank just had this rawness and wit to it that felt more visceral (to me anyway)
You sent me flying xx🥹🥹💝💝
I'd say it was a mix of a variety of situations. There was all the things you said in the video, but also the fact that, from the moment she met Blake, she let him influence her completely and almost became another person. She was craving for affection and would do everything to earn it. So maybe people around her (like Blake) didn't appreciate her Frank era, bashed it, she took it as the absolute truth and tried to walk away from it.
Frank is one of my go to albums till this day.
AHHH THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR MAKING A FRANK VIDEO! Frank gets overlooked all the time and its time it gets some recognition from the later generations!
Ah, yes. My favourite album.
I'm so shocked! I never heard about it...
I was literally listening to Frank, then you upload this video omg wtf
Rest in peace Amy ❤❤
I heard love in blind is one of her top 5 songs !!!!
Favorite song from the album : You sent me flying 🌸
I loved Frank. But Back to black is a classic. I wish she was still here. RIP you f###ing Legend.
This album frank is fire!
My mom loved her music growing up. I got into it as I got older. What is About Men is a true gem of a song. So much insight.
i miss her, my beautiful angel baby 💞
Those interview quotes are so Amy, wow. I miss her. 😭
Havnt watched yet but u got my attention
You Sent Me Flying is perfection. Everyone check out the Live at AOL version. Its stunning.
The best live version of EVERY SINGLE song in frank is the leicester concert. Just look for any song in frank and follow it by “live leicester hall” on CZcams . The videos have a couple thousands views no image at all, yet the best Amy ever performed and THE BEST quality sound. Blast it on your headphones and enjoy
I adore Amy so much I seriously cannot get through the Bruno Mars tribute performance by not tearing up. We miss you darlin ❤
Her better album imo
She didn't disown it, she was just unhappy about some decisions, like putting strings on songs she didn't want, the album not being released in America and overall management. By 2007, she was pretty happy to keep singing Frank songs and seemed the most comfortable singing them too.
Amy wasn’t entirely satisfied with Frank. She moaned about how Island had forced her to include one song she hated, the Erykah Badu-lite of Amy Amy Amy, and claimed the label had “fake strings” overdubbed against her will on the downtempo soul reverie of Take The Box. Amy in 2004 interview: "I'm such a perfectionist you know that I could not ever listen to my album there's part of that wants to go back in everyone's house and be like: 'Can I have my album back please I'll bring this back in two months thank you', there's part if me that wants to do that because um a musician now I want to grow with everything you know but that's why I'm lucky that I can make music till I'm dead you know".
She was taken from us too soon
Stronger than me and f me pumps are my favorite. She was amazing
R.I.P. Amy Winehouse🥀🎤
Frank is one of my favorite albums of all time
Frank is my favorite.
Amy whinehouse is a GENUIS AND my favorite artist.
Let's let her rest in peace.
I miss her so much ❤ I love stronger than me & in my bed
Frank is much better than back to black. Period
I only know one song from her, Rehab 😢
RIP
Definitely explore the back to black album and Frank. Rehab is my least favorite song from her lol. She’s got so many great ones.
I'm good on that
I get her sense of music, she made wreal music , not overproduced music, can’t stand that too so I get how that would have been be frustrating for her.
i love her frank era, real ones know*
Its my favourite album of hers!
Amy Didn’t like any of her music she even said it she never owned her albums ever at home and she was a perfectionist she never listened to them after hearing the final version and obviously the studio she didn’t even like performing them lol so I think every album she would of made she felt the same even with rehab her most important biggest song
I heard Amy Winehouse and I clicked! 🤭
brown 2 in 1
In my bed and you sent me flying - I love Frank it’s my fave album
IN MY BED WAS THEE BOP OF 2003 AND Y'ALL LET IT BECOME UNDERRATED THIS WOMAN WILL AND WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN ✨🩷🙌✨
I absolutely love Frank ❤
IMO, Frank is way superior to Back to Black.
IN ANOTHER INTERVIEW SHE SAID IF I DIED TOMORROW I KNOW I ALREADY GOT ONE OUT THAT WAS FRANK ,SO BEFORE THE DRUGS AND BOOZE PICKLED AMYS BRAINS ,SHE TRULEY WAS PROUD OF WHAT SHES DONE AND WELL WHAT SINGER WASNT FUSSY ABOTU HOW PEOPLE PPUT THERE MUSIC TOGEHTER ,BUT SHE WAS PROUD OF HER MUSIC ,ALL OF IT !AND SO WERE WE !,T ME FRANK IS REAL AMY ,BLACK TO BLACK IS DEPRESSED ADDICTED AMY ,HER ONLY REAL PROBLEM TO ME THAT ADDED THE DRUGS AND BOOZE WAS SHE WAS SO NOT CONFIDENT ABOTUHERSELF WHEN IT CAME TO MEN ,NOT JUST BLAKE ALL HER RELATIOSHIPS ,SO ,FUNNY SHE SAID THAT MORE AFTER THE DRUGS TOOK HOLDAND SHE HATED THt people wouldrefer to frank instead of black to black,so she would run it down ofr that reason not that it wasnt good ,too bad ,she was so confident in her music and strong but men she was just too down on herself,she didint ge tit ,sometimes they leave and move on already gals !!!!!!dont ever let it bring you down ,love hould never brign you down!,thats not love thats ,dependency
But FRANK is the much better album.I think Back to black is overproduced
This album definitely has some questionable lyrics, very of the time but it’s still AMY 🖤🖤
Frank is still my favourite, B2B was great but not as brilliant as Frank.
I’m a mess… I own all her works, but I want more… you’ll never be replaced Amy 😢😢😢
I wish she wasn’t so critical of her music after back to black and released another project. She was one of a kind
Really? Are we talking about Frank?? Who doesnt know about this album? 🙈
She would probably be called an industry plant now, with that background
Nah - she always felt REAL. Real recognizes real.
@@__rm307 yeah, I was kinda saying it would be unfair. But I think people would
We talking bout lioness?
