Amy Winehouse will release a new, posthumous studio album later this year.
The album, which is titled ‘Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures’, will be released on December 5 and has been put together by producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi using tracks that the singer left unfinished when she passed away earlier this year.
‘Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures’ features 12 tracks, including covers of The Shirelles‘ ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow’, Donny Hathaway‘s ‘A Song For You’ and Ruby & The Romantics‘ ‘Our Day Will Come’.
The album will also feature alternative versions of Winehouse‘s previously released material, including a demo version of ‘Wake Up Alone and slowed down versions of ‘Tears Dry On Their Own’ and ‘Valerie’. It also includes ‘Body & Soul’, her duet with Tony Bennett which was released earlier this year.
The record also includes a number of previously unreleased tracks. Among them are ‘Halftime’ and ‘The Girl From Ipanema’ – which were recorded during her sessions for debut album ‘Frank’ – and ‘Like Smoke’, which sees the singer duetting with Nas. Another new song, ‘Between The Cheats’, is thought to chronicle her troubled marriage with ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil.
£1 from each copy of the album that is sold will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, the charity set up in the singer’s honour.
