Amy Winehouse‘s music was always destined to find new life after her death. Now even more so. 
An all new, full-length album of never before heard recordings sung by the Grammy winner will be released Dec. 5, her record label, Island Records, announced today.
And rather than just fall back on the usual eponymous trope, this album will be roaring into stores with quite the title…
Mightily dubbed Lioness: Hidden Treasures, the album will contain 12 songs, and be comprised of new tunes she was working on prior to her death, previously unreleased tracks, cover versions of classic songs and alternative versions of her many hits, including a demo version of “Wake Up Alone” and mellower versions of “Tears Dry on Their Own” and “Valerie”—her final single, “Body & Soul,” with Tony Bennett, will also be included.
Two new songs will be included, “Halftime” and “The Girl From Ipanema,” and the former had never even been heard by her family. Her father, Mitch, called it “just incredibly beautiful…I spent so much time chasing after Amy, telling her off, that I never realized what a true genius she was.” (E!Online/Serpe) PoliticsOfHollywood/Varona
