She must have felt instantly bad, and said, вЂњIвЂ™m in a really bad mood and I donвЂ™t know why, IвЂ™m just really angry, and itвЂ™s not your fault, IвЂ™m really sorry.вЂќ Looking back years later, I realise that there was depression. Once we were out in this really nice hotel in Miami, having the best time, and she came downstairs in a bad, bad mood, and she just kicked a metal chair across the restaurant. There are lots of things though which I now look back on and think, shit, that was a sign. вЂConnectedвЂ™: Amy Winehouse with Nick Shymansky.ДЄt times it would be very difficult, but most of the time sheвЂ™d be so sweet and funny. The first really serious one I heard was Unholy War, where she used this very current phrase that was all over the news, and sheвЂ™d made it about her own mess and unsolvable problems. I remember the first two songs she came up with for Back to Black were two completely opposite styles of her: Addicted, which went вЂњyou got me addicted, more than any dick didвЂќ, although this was way before any signs of any problems. There were two sides to how Amy would write: either playful, tongue-in-cheek, almost concept-based, like I Heard Love is Blind and Fuck Me Pumps, or extremely personal and deep. We were young, we were kids, we were figuring it out in our own ways. If there was a good studio with loads of instruments, or some musician who could really play, sheвЂ™d be out the door like a flash. Two, there had to be a strong musical pull. There were two motivations: one, you had to make it fun. If I booked in a session and didnвЂ™t literally get her out of bed, in the car, drop her off, pick her up, sit in on the session, it just didnвЂ™t happen. IвЂ™d feel completely inadequate because I thought I knew my music вЂ“ I assumed, IвЂ™m the guy in music, IвЂ™m gonna know more than you вЂ“ and I learned very quickly that she knew so much more. We connected on music, we used to go to a lot of gigs. What was your relationship with her like as a manager? She was different, she used to make a lot of her own clothes. From the off, she was very funny, very blunt. As soon as producers heard her they were in. I put it on in my car and it blew my mind. It didnвЂ™t fit with the girl who didnвЂ™t want to be noticed.

I got this package through the post with a demo tape with two songs on, and the jiffy bag was covered in stickers of hearts and kisses, and it had вЂњAmyвЂќ scribbled over it about 100 times. The whole time she was saying she had absolutely no interest in making music. She flicked my ego away like it was a pea on my shoulder, and I realised humour was the backup plan, and thatвЂ™s how we connected. I called her and pretended I was this big manager who could make things happen, giving it all the showbiz talk, and obviously she thought I was a wanker, she made it very clear. Looking back on it, I was 19, working in the music industry but I didnвЂ™t really know anything. He now works as senior A&R manager at Island Records.ДЄn artist I was looking after, Tyler James, said he knew a girl called Amy Winehouse whoвЂ™d dropped out of school, and things werenвЂ™t happening for her. Together they released her debut album, Frank, in 2003. That's why I couldn't understand why everyone else was saying about this procrastinating, troubled artist.' How could he? Evidently, Winehouse wrote the song in less than three hours.ДЇor more on Amy, read our essay on celebrity, depression, and what we can still learn from her today.Nick Shymansky met Amy Winehouse when she was 16, and worked as her manager between 19. 'It was one of those serendipitous things,' Ronson narrates in the above clip, a fly-on-the-wall look at the 'Back to Black' session. Why was she flourishing in front of the microphone? This is what befuddled producer Mark Ronson when he worked with Winehouse on the single 'Back to Black.' Here was a woman reported to be a self-destructive mess. When she outran cameras, holed up in the recording studio, and let her freak flag fly, her personality shined. Though edited for coherence and drama, the film's footage maintains a raw quality, unearthed like treasure from the sands of media lunacy. The new documentary Amy only employs performance and behind-the-scenes footage to unravel the heavy life of the late Amy Winehouse.
