Asa cum era de asteptat, zvonurile care anuntau un album al lui Amy Winehouse lansat postum s-au adeverit.

     Materialul discografic va fi lansat la inceputul lunii decembrie, pe data de 5 si va purta numele de “Lioness: Hidden Treasures”. Acesta va contine 12 piese, intre care se vor afla versiuni nemaiuzite ale pieselor “Valerie” sau “Tears Dry on their Own”, dar si cover-uri care nu au si-au gasit locul pe albumele precedente.

     Vestea a aparut in ziarul The Sun, unde tatal lui Amy Winehouse a declarat: “I spent so much time chasing after Amy — telling her off — that I never realised what a true genius she was. 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 her talent. From jazz standards to hip-hop songs, it took my breath away.”

     “Had the family felt this album wasn’t up to the standard of Amy’s others, Frank and Back To Black, we’d never have agreed to release it. We believe it will stand as a fitting tribute to her musical legacy.”

     La acest album au lucrat Salaam Remi si Mark Ronson, alaturi de care regretata artista a cunoscut succesul international.

     Din fiecare copie vanduta, un dolar va merge fundatia infiintata in memoria lui Amy Winehouse.
