A source told the paper that the rapper had put his own spin on the title track from the singer's hugely successful second album and that he has added synthesizers.

The source said:
It's pretty emotive. It's Kanye singing from the heart – with synthesizers.

The rapper joins Green Day in announcing this week that they have written a song in tribute to Winehouse after the pop punkers debuted new track 'Amy' online earlier this week.
