'New' Amy Winehouse albumreleased for Christmas

Tue 1st Nov, 2011 in International News

A third Amy Winehouse album, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, will be released in early December – just in time for the Christmas sales.

The compilation has been put together by some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, including Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi and is being touted as “a fitting tribute to the artist, the talent and the woman and serves as a reminder of Amy’s extraordinary powers as a songwriter, a singer and an interpreter of classics”.

The twelve track collection features previously unreleased tracks, alternate takes and a couple of brand new songs.
