Cherry Wine, which is
a collaboration with
rapper Nas, will appear on the rapper’s tenth studio album Life is Good.
The song is produced by Salaam Remi, which will be releasing on July 17th.
On the Salaam Remi-produced track, both Nas and Amy fantasize about finding their soul mates, naming characteristics each partner will have. Nas brings just enough street vibes to the song, paired with Winehouse who powerfully knocks out the chorus, reminding us of the tragic loss the music world suffered with her passing last year.
Remi, Winehouse’s close friend and frequent collaborator, also produced many of the tracks featured on Lioness.
“I believe she has left something beyond her years. She has put a body of work together that will inspire an unborn generation,” he said in October 2011. “I’m blessed to be part of that process, to have known that person and to continue her legacy with this album.”
“Where is he, the man who is just like me? I heard he was hiding somewhere I can’t see. And I’m alone, I realize that when I get home,” Amy belts throughout the chorus.
Followed by Nas opening up the first verse rapping, “I want someone who likes the champagne I like. Someone to talk me off the bridge any day and night. She teach me how to live, she ain’t afraid of life. Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before. She love or she ride out with me on my music tour.”
The Grammy-winning star died from alcohol poisoning and was found dead at her home in Camden in July 2011. (Agencies)
