Part of Universal Music brand “Island records” will release a posthumous album of Amy Winehouse’s greatest songs on the date of December 5th this year. The album is entitled "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" and will be featuring twelve tracks which
includes previously recorded unreleased recordings with a blended compilation of alternative versions of existing classics and new Winehouse compositions. The statement was issued on the (late) Winehouse’s website on Monday.
Producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi who had worked with British Singer have put the records together. Statements from the people who have worked with Amy cumulatively reflected about Amy that she never sang or played a song twice as the same way.
The upcoming posthumous album of Amy is solely oriented as well as reflects her true essence for music. It became quite apparent for producers Mark and Salaam to compile the collection which really deserved to be heard and the collection was also fitting
a testament to Amy the artist.
Lioness: Hidden Treasures will be Amy’s third studio album following her 2003 debut "Frank" and multiple Grammy award-winning "Back to Black" which was released three years later.
"Between the Cheats," a composition by Winehouse which was recorded on the year 2008 for the induction in the third album will be featured and "A Song For You," reflecting a heartbreaking and emotional sound will also be a part of the compilation.
“A Song For You” is a new version of the classic by Leon Russell. The song was also sung by Donny Hathaway, Winehouse’s favourite artist.
The recording features Winehouse’s vocals and guitar parts and the whole recording was made in a single take in London in the year 2009.
Amy Winehouse, an artist with a distinctive vocal timbre and trendy “beehive” hairstyle was found dead in her North London home on 23rd July. Reports and investigations show that she had been a regular user of alcohol and consumed more than five
times the legal driving limit of liquor when she died.
Amy had acclaimed a huge number of fans all across the globe with her 2006 release “Back to Black” which topped the charts on a number of ocassions. The artist had a distinct approach to music and will be remembered as one of the paragons of the era and
with her posthumous album to come forth, the audiences will certainly be given a treat of her musical charisma.
