AMY WINEHOUSE: BEYOND BLACK
I was asked by Naomi Parry, Amy’s close friend and personal stylist, to produce an introduction for her book Beyond Black. A celebration and remembrance of Amy’s impact on music and pop culture at large, it features reflections from a wide range of friends, fans and collaborators (including Ronnie Spector, Vivienne Westwood, and Bryan Adams), specially commissioned photography of memorabilia, styled and dressed themed sets incorporating Amy's clothing, possessions and lyrics, and previously unseen archival images.
‘Beyond Black’ is out now via Thames & Hudson.
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS LP
In 2017 Mondo decided to re-release the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack on vinyl. After the film's producers Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan read an article I wrote about Josie and the Pussycats as the world's greatest fictional pop punk band, I was asked to put together the liner notes for the re-release. Features an introduction and an oral history compiled from interviews with Harry Elfont, Deborah Kaplan, Kay Hanley and Rachel Leigh-Cook.
