New Winehouse album this year
Lioness: Hidden Treasures, the third album from Amy Winehouse will be released on December 5 this year through Island Records.
The 12-track collection features previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions of existing songs as well as a couple of brand new compositions, and has been compiled by long-time musical partners Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson in close association with Winehouse’s family, management and record label Island Records.
“I spent so much time chasing after Amy, telling her off that I never realised what a true genius she was,” her father Mitch Winehouse said in a statement.
“It wasn’t until I sat down with the rest of the family and listened to this album that I fully appreciated the breadth of Amy’s talent, from jazz standards to hip hop songs, it really took my breath away.
“Halftime, I’d never heard before, is just incredibly beautiful. If the family had felt that this album wasn’t up to the standard of Frank and Back To Black we would never have agreed to release it and we believe it will stand as a fitting tribute to Amy’s musical legacy.”
Winehouse’s final recording was a duet with Tony Bennett of Body and Soul.
