Our Take
Our Take
Ah, the grime legend Skepta strikes again, this time with a heartfelt tribute to the one and only Amy Winehouse. "Can't Play Myself" is a refreshing departure from Skepta's usual hard-hitting beats, showcasing a more vulnerable side to the artist.
From the opening track, "Love Is a Losing Game," Skepta's raw emotion is palpable, with his signature gritty flow adding a unique twist to Winehouse's soulful lyrics. The production on this album is top-notch, with lush melodies and dreamy synths weaving effortlessly throughout each track.
Standout songs include the haunting "Back to Black" and the infectious "Rehab," which sees Skepta effortlessly blending his own sound with Winehouse's iconic vocals. The collaborations on this album are also not to be missed, with artists such as Jorja Smith and Stormzy adding their own flair to each track.
Overall, "Can't Play Myself" is a beautiful homage to one of the greatest voices of our generation. Skepta's ability to pay tribute to Winehouse while still staying true to his own sound is truly commendable. This album is a must-listen for fans of both artists, showcasing Skepta's versatility and artistry in a whole new light. Amy would be proud.
