What kind of accent did Amy Winehouse have?

Answer 1

Amy Winehouse had a distinctive London accent known as Estuary English, which is a mix of Received Pronunciation (RP) and Cockney accents. This accent is commonly associated with the southeastern regions of England, particularly London and the surrounding areas. Winehouse's accent contributed to her unique vocal style and helped to distinguish her as a singer.

Answer 2

Amy grew up in Southgate, which is in north London. People who aren't familiar with accents around this area would probably describe her accent as an Estuary accent or even Cockney. However, I would describe her accent as North London. For people who dont live in or near London, the differences between London, Essex, Estuary and Cockney accents can be virtually impossible to tell, as they are often subtle.

Although some people speak like Amy Winehouse in north London (including me :D ), note that there is a large range of accents in London, ranging from what is often known as 'Jafaican' to Cockney. Many, but by no means all, people from where Amy was from speak with an accent like hers.

Hope that answers your question!
