Hive music festival week 132 round 3/ Amy Whinehouse - Valerie

Hello to all my Music Zone friends, I hope you're all doing well and having a great week. This time, I want to share with you a cover of my keyboard by the British singer known as Amy Winehouse. I hadn't recorded anything on my keyboard for a few weeks, and I thought it would be good to do something different from the musical style I always performed. Amy is a British singer, songwriter, and multi -instrumentalist, known for her powerful, deep alto voice and blend of musical genres, including soul, jazz, R&B, and Caribbean rhythms like ska. The song I'm sharing with you isn't Amy's own work, but rather by the British indie band The Zutons. The song was released as the second single from their second studio album, Tired of Hang Around, in June 2006. Singer Mark Ronson, in collaboration with Amy Winehouse, covered "Valerie" for Mark's second studio album. Ronson produced Winehouse's acclaimed second album, Back to Black. The single was so successful that it sold over 300,000 copies in the UK and remained in the Top 10 of the UK charts for over two months, as well as charting in several European countries. Unlike The Zutons' performance, which was more guitar-driven and rock-oriented, Mark Ronson knew how to put his own spin on it and took advantage of Amy Winehouse's unique vocal talent, squeezing the soul out of her voice, combining it with Motown and classic pop, and the accompanying wind instruments at certain moments in the song. It's worth noting that The Zutons' performance is more guitar-driven and rock-oriented. With Amy Winehouse's vocal talent, they make the most of the soul in her voice, combining it with Motown and classic pop, and also the wind instruments that occasionally appear in the song.

Hola a todos mis amigos y amigas de Music Zone, espero que estén muy bien y estén pasando una excelente semana. En esta oportunidad quiero compartir con ustedes un cover en mi teclado de la cantante británica conocida como Amy Whinehouse. Tenia unas cuantas semanas sin grabar algo en mi teclado y me pareció que sería bueno hacer algo diferente amen el estilo musical que siempre hacía.
Amy es una cantante, compositora y multiinstrumentista británica, conocida por su poderosa y profunda voz de contralto y la mezcla de géneros musicales, que incluyen soul, jazz, R&B y ritmos caribeños como el ska.
La canción que vengo acompartirles no es de la autoría de Amy si no de la banda británica de música indie The Zutons. La canción fue lanzada como segundo sencillo de su segundo álbum de estudio Tired of Hanging Around, enjunio de 2006. El cantante Mark Ronson, con la colaboración de Amy Winehouse, reversionaron “Valerie”, para el segundo álbum de estudio de Mark.
Ronson fue el productor del aclamado segundo disco de Winehouse, Back to Black. El éxito fue tal que el sencillo, como tal, vendió más de 300 mil copias en el Reino Unido y se mantuvo más de dos meses en el Top 10 de los charts en aquella nación aparte de alcanzar buenos números en varios países de Europa. A diferencia de la interpretación de The Zutons, más cargada a las guitarras y una cuestión más roquera, Mark Ronson supo darle un giro y aprovechó el particular talento vocal de Amy Winehouse exprimiendo al máximo el soul de su voz, combinándolo con el motown y el pop clásico y el ingrediente de los instrumentos de viento que acompañasen en determinados momentos de la canción.
Cabe destacar que la interpretación de The Zutons esta más concentrada en las guitarras y es de tipo más roquera. Con el talento vocal de Amy Winehouse y aprovechando al máximo el soul de su voz, combinándolo con el motown y el pop clásico y también los instrumentos de viento que de vez en cuando aparecen en la canción.

Lyrics/ Letras

Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture
'Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop makin? a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Did you have to go to jail
Put your house on up for sale
Did you get a good lawyer?
Hope you didn't catch a tan
Hope you find the right man
Who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere
Changed the color of your hair
Are you busy?
And did you have to pay that fine
You was dodging all the time
Are you still dizzy?
Since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop makin? a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Well, sometimes I go out by myself
And I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing
And in my head I paint a picture? Cause since I've come on home
Well, my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over
Stop makin? a fool out of me
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
Why don't you come on over Valerie?
