Some twenty years after it was initially recorded, a previously unpublished interview with Amy Winehouse has been made public.
Recorded in 2007 for The Sunday Times, the late singer opened up about her career and marriage in a newly discovered “lost” interview.
Never published due to a scheduling conflict with a rival newspaper at the time, the 23-year old singer/songwriter described herself as so satisfied with her professional output that she could happily “die tomorrow.” “When I was younger, yeah. The thought of dying without ever making my mark, that was my biggest fear” “Dying without making a stamp on things. I know I’m only 23 but …” said the musician, whose 2006 album Back to Black has sold 20,000,000+ copies worldwide.
Having single-handedly written most of its songs and co-written the rest, Winehouse explained how proud she was of her work on Back to Black.
Before stating that she wished her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, could achieve the same heights in his work as a screenwriter, Amy said “Yeah, I’m really proud of myself.” “I just want other people around me to do well. Like my baby … I’ve done well, you know what I mean? I’ve just done an album that I’m really proud of. If I die tomorrow then cool, do you know what I mean?”
When asked whether she could see herself staying with Blake forever, after having broken up and reconciled several times before their Town Hall wedding, the British born songstress said “I know we’re going to die together.”
Having been divorced since 2009, Amy Winehouse died four years later in July of 2011, from accidental alcohol poisoning.
