The top-selling British artist of the 21st century, Winehouse revitalised soul music with her brassy, sweet-and-sour voice and her timeless sensibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmy Winehouse herself owned many Paperblanks journals. As Alex Winehouse from the Amy Winehouse Foundation explains, “I personally wanted to find a sketch that Amy had drawn – it is something I think Paperblanks do very well in respect to other artists and musicians in the portfolio – that showed that she was a fun, quirky, loving person. This sketch, taken from a little note she had written, sums her up very well I think. To the world, she was a major music star. To her family and friends, she was someone completely different. I think, with the sketch and the lyrics featured on the book cover design, we get both of these sides.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis special Embellished Manuscript depicts a self-portrait and lyrics from Winehouse’s song “Tears Dry on Their Own” from her 2006 album \u003cem\u003eBack to Black.\u003c\/em\u003e Royalties from the sale of this journal will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a global charity that helps prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people. The Amy Winehouse Foundation was set up by her family in memory of Amy and it also aims to support, inform and inspire vulnerable and disadvantaged young people to help them reach their full potential.
