Amy Winehouse has some Hidden Treasures

For years, she had been creating new material, aiming to surpass the success of her hit record Back To Black.

Now, a secret album featuring brand new songs by Amy Winehouse is set to be released months after the 27-year-old’s passing.

The album, Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures, is reported to include original tracks alongside covers.

One of the songs allegedly reveals details about her unfaithful ex-husband Blake Fielder Civil, while another was recorded during a moment when the singer was under the influence of drugs.

The album also includes a rendition of the jazz standard Body and Soul featuring Tony Bennett.

According to Winehouse’s father, Mitch, the new material ‘took my breath away.’

With tears in his eyes, the 60-year-old remarked: ‘I wasted so much time scolding Amy—never realizing what a genuine genius she was.’

He mentioned that the album would not have been released if the family believed it didn’t match the quality of his daughter’s acclaimed debut Frank from 2003 and her successful second album Back To Black from 2006.

‘We trust that it will serve as a worthy tribute to her musical legacy,’ Mitch said.

After reviewing thousands of hours of her vocals, producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson compiled the album.

Remi referred to the process of listening to Winehouse’s voice as an ’emotional’ experience.

‘I believe she has left a legacy beyond her years,’ he stated.

‘She has created a body of work that will inspire generations yet to come.’

The singer was discovered deceased in her bed at her Camden flat in north London on Saturday afternoon, July 23 of this year.

An inquest last week revealed that the singer was over five times the legal drink-drive limit at the time of her death, but did not have any illegal drugs in her system.

The new album is anticipated to release in December, with proceeds from each sale benefiting the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
