The Whole Delivery

As always with what I try to do with The Flashback Fridays, celebrate songs from half a decade to decades ago period, meaning from 2017, a look back primarily on songs from 2007 or 1997 unless for a special reason. So with that said again, it is another flashback to 2007, with the massive song from the late Amy Winehouse that propelled her to stardom here in the United States. Though the original "Rehab" came out in October 2006, it didn't reach American shores until March 2007. The remix with Jay-Z added more terrific popularity to the growing Winehouse wave in the early stages of the 2007 summer. It established the Southgate, London native to a bona fide name in the music game. With star pop beat making Mark Ronson's production, no question this was the full arrival of Amy Winehouse. So, your first Flashback Friday choice this week, it's Amy Winehouse and Jay-Z with "Rehab (Remix)."

Look who says she will be coming back at the start of next year : After years of keeping her fans waiting, Amy Winehouse has promised that she'll release a new album by January of next year. "The album will be six months at the most," Winehouse told Metro UK, who caught up with the singer this week at the London premiere of the film "Psychosis." "It's going to be very much the same as my second album, where there's a lot of jukebox stuff and songs that are… just jukebox, really." "I just can't wait to have new songs on stage, really," Winehouse added. Another nice prison letter from Lil Wayne . Ne-Yo's new videos, even though he is usually been terrible at making videos:

Yesterday I was pondering to myself about the disbelief that I still have for how Amy Winehouse has quickly become irrelevant in the music industry. No one talks about her anymore. No one has rumored about her any more. TMZ doesn't even think about following her any move on hers. And not one single report of her doing a collabo with another artist from any genre and all. It is quite stunning how she has faded away from the peripheral in such an expedient fashion. It makes this first selection for The flashback Friday, even if this song came out three years ago, all the more fitting. It's Amy Winehouse's classic "Rehab".
