Soul Neo-Soul
Amy Winehouse’s “Rehab” (2006) is a retro-soul smash that blends candid humor with genuine pain. Over horn stabs and a catchy Motown-style groove, Amy famously sings “They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no,” referencing her own resistance to treatment. The song’s bold authenticity and Winehouse’s powerhouse, personality-filled vocals made it an international hit (Top 10 in the US, No. 1 in the UK). It won three Grammys including Record of the Year, and sadly, in retrospect, stands as Amy’s signature track — emblematic of her immense talent and personal struggles.
