Kanye West revealed that he has recorded a cover on the song Back To Black by Amy Winehouse. According to the rapper, it has become his tribute to the dead singer. He added that new track is much more than just another version of the composition since he has put a lot of his personal feelings in it.

Kanye West also promised that the track will be released in October.

A source close to the rapper told Daily Mirror newspaper: "It's pretty emotive. It's Kanye singing from the heart – with synthesizers".

Recently, Green Day have composed a song in memory of Amy Winehouse. The band has already performed the track – which is titled simply Amy – during several concerts. According to their words, it tells about their impressions of the late singer.

Amy Winehouse has been found dead in her house in Camden on Saturday, July 23. The reason of her death has not been revealed yet and would not be named until results of toxicology expertise that are arriving only next month.

Kanye West and Jay-Z have recently released an album together, titled Watch The Throne.
