Skepta Honors Amy Winehouse with Soulful Tribute "Can't Play Myself”

The Más Tiempo release samples Winehouse's 2006 hit "Tears Dry On Their Own”

September 16, 2024

Skepta continues to power the Más Tiempo train with his latest single, "Can't Play Myself (A Tribute To Amy)." If you were among the fortunate ones who found themselves in the audience at Skepta and Jammer's electrifying Arcadia set during Glastonbury 2023, you might already be familiar with this track. This haunting and emotive house tune is centered around a sample taken from Amy Winehouse's "Tears Dry On Their Own" (with the blessing of the Amy Winehouse Foundation). Skepta masterfully takes the Motown-inspired hook from the late soul singer and reimagines it with a pulsating house beat, sending chills down the spine of every raver.

What was once an emotionally stirring bootleg enjoyed by a select few lucky fans has now been unleashed upon the world. Give it a listen and make sure to add it to your playlists.
