A posthumous album from Amy Winehouse is in the works. Island Records will be releasing 12 new tracks from the late singer on an album entitled, Lioness: Hidden Treasures. The album will be out December 5.
After listening to the album, Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, said, “It wasn’t until I sat down with the rest of the family and listened to this album that I fully appreciated the breadth of Amy’s talent.”
“From jazz standards to hip-hop songs, it really took my breath away,” a grieving Mitch continued, “I never realized what a true genius she was.”
The album is produced by friends Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi and will be Winehouse’s third release. She died this July at age 27.
Part of the album sales will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, established after her death to help those battling addiction.
