You have to take an element of those things and then bring something fresh and new to it, which was something that I learned when I was working with the late, amazing Amy Winehouse on her album "Back to Black." A lot of fuss was made about the sonic of the album that myself and Salaam Remi, the other producer, achieved, how we captured this long-lost sound, but without the very, very 21st-century personality and firebrand that was Amy Winehouse and her lyrics about rehab and Roger Moore and even a mention of Slick Rick, the whole thing would have run the risk of being very pastiche, to be honest.
Tienes que tomar un elemento de ahí y traer algo nuevo y fresco a él, que fue algo que aprendí cuando trabajé con la fallecida, asombrosa Amy Winehouse en su álbum "Back to Black". Mucho se dijo del sonido del álbum, que yo y Salaam Remi, el otro productor logramos, cómo capturamos este sonido perdido, pero sin la personalidad muy, muy del sigo XXI y con la indómita Amy Winehouse y sus letras sobre rehabilitación y Roger Moore e inclusive una mención de Slick Rick, toda la cosa hubiera estado en riesgo de ser una imitación, para ser sincero.
