Amy Winehouse Covers VIBE
Sharing the cover of VIBE‘s Aug/Sept JUICE issue with Kelly Rowland, is the late Amy Winehouse. Below producer Salaam Remi shares his final days with Amy. Issue on newsstands August 16. I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal. They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded. For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?

Chris Brown – I Love Her
[audio:https://global14.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Chris-Brown-I-Love-Her-Prod.-By-Battleroy.mp3|titles=Chris Brown – I Love Her (Prod. By Battleroy)] Chris Brown track, ‘I Love Her’ surface. Fast forward a few hours, and the quiet storm cut has hit the net in full form. Markedly different to what we’re used to hearing from the 22 year old musically, the song sees Brown reminisce on a love lost. ‘Love Her’ serves as a potent reminder of Brown’s varied skill as an artist. Famed for his high-octane uptempo’s, here his underrated vocals and emotive delivery are given centre-stage, whetting our appetites for what can easily be a musically mature Chris Brown on future albums.
