While I hope that some of the sessions between Amy, ?uestlove and Raphael Saadiq will see the light, hearing this news is bittersweet to say the least.
The world will finally get to hear the music Amy Winehouse was working on before her unexpected death earlier this year. According to a press release from her English label, a posthumous collection of unheard studio tracks, Lioness: Hidden Treasures, will be released on December 5.
The 12 tracks on the disc were put together by Winehouse’s longtime collaborators, producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and will include songs she recorded before, during and after the releases of her two studio albums, 2003′s Frank and her smash 2006 breakthrough Back to Black. “It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice,” read the release announcing the disc. “It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard, a collection of songs that were a fitting testament to Amy the artist and, as importantly, Amy their friend.” – MTV
*sigh* All the times I wished for a new album from her… and it had to come in this manner.
I miss you Amy baby!!!

See I cant be mad atha fools and their ignorant comments. Back to black was rated to Universal acclaim so that “bull shit music” is considered classic, and she went and sold millions world wide so yeah she does have a large fanbase, along with people who dislike it but what Superstar in music doesnt have that though

^Wtf do ratings and sales mean? They only reason she got so much popularity in the first place was because of her drug use.

Hmm ratings mean that Professionals listened to the album (the same ones who listen to everything else) and broke down the genius in the music. Sales means people care enough to support. Yeah thats why *sarcasm* cuz there are crackheads walking down the street that people care about. Yes her music does say shit that others are afraid to admit (Shock value)
