I would argue one of the last true great musicians of that generation, of that genre.
The fact that she experienced what she experienced and that she then condensed it into her music made it far more potent and powerful.
And that's the reason why it resonates with people so strongly.
I think with AI, you can get a great hook.
You may be able to write nice, you know, good lyrics.
It may have a great beat.
You may want to dance to it.
But I would argue that it wouldn't move you as profoundly as Amy Winehouse when she writes a lyric, for instance, in Back to Black, talking about her relationship, "'We only say goodbye with words.'"
Yeah, yeah.
And she talks about being in an abusive relationship, which is completely toxic.
But the way she wrote it is sublime.
We only say goodbye with words, meaning that whatever they say, they were always going to get back together.

Right, a lot of the time it comes down to digestion, whether your body is actually breaking down what you're eating and absorbing it properly.
If it isn't, the protein, the healthy fats, the vitamins, a lot of that passes straight through you.
You're eating the right things and not getting the benefits.
