I Never Studied Jazz Technically; I Just

So When I Was Working With Amy Winehouse On "back To Black," You Know, She Had All These Beautiful Songs, Incredibly Well-written And Just Her On An Acoustic, Nylon-string Guitar. And She'd Play Them For Me, And Then I Would Kind Of Drum Up My Idea Of What I Thought - Make A Demo With What I Thought The Drums Should Be Doing, The Guitars - Like, Quite A Crude Demo.

I Think That Where It Came From And The Initial Birth Of It - It Did Come Out Of A Jam At Bruno's Studio, You Know? He Was Playing Drums. And Jeff Bhasker, Who Co-produced The Record With Us, Is On Synths, And I Was Playing Bass.

My Mother Was Pretty Strict. I Hated It, But Maybe It Made Me A Bit More Sensible.

I Never Studied Jazz Technically; I Just Know And Love The Music.

You Have To Put These Hooks In It, You Know? You've Got To Make Sure You Got All That Ear Candy In It To Get It Through The Gate.
