Our Take
Our Take
Amy Winehouse was a force to be reckoned with before her untimely passing, and Lioness: Hidden Treasures serves as a poignant reminder of her undeniable talent. This posthumous release is a treasure trove of raw emotion and soulful vocals that will transport you to a place where jazz and R&B collide in the most exquisite way.
The album kicks off with the hauntingly beautiful "Our Day Will Come," a cover of the classic 60s track that Winehouse infuses with her signature smoky vocals. From there, we are taken on a journey through unreleased tracks and alternate versions of some of her biggest hits, including "Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Valerie."
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Half Time," a stripped-back ballad that showcases Winehouse's unparalleled ability to convey heartbreak and vulnerability through her music. The jazz-infused "Between the Cheats" is another highlight, with its infectious melody and poignant lyrics that hit you right in the feels.
Overall, Lioness: Hidden Treasures is a must-listen for any Amy Winehouse fan, offering a glimpse into the musical genius that was taken from us far too soon. It's a bittersweet reminder of the talent we lost, but also a celebration of the lasting impact she left on the music world. Amy Winehouse may be gone, but her music will live on forever in our hearts.

About the artist
Amy Winehouse
Amy Winehouse was a rare breed in the music industry - a true original with a voice that could stop you dead in your tracks. Hailing from North London, the singer-songwriter burst onto the scene in the mid-2000s with her soulful vocals and throwback sound that combined elements of jazz, R&B, and doo-wop. Her debut album, "Frank," showcased her raw talent and earned her critical acclaim, but it was her sophomore effort, "Back to Black," that catapulted her into the mainstream. The album, with its tales of heartbreak and addiction, struck a chord with listeners around the world and solidified Winehouse as a force to be reckoned with. Despite her success, Winehouse's personal struggles were well-documented in the media. Her battles with drug addiction and alcoholism often overshadowed her musical prowess, but she never shied away from confronting her demons in her music. Tracks like "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" were searingly honest portrayals of her struggles, earning her both praise and criticism in equal measure. Tragically, Winehouse's life was cut short in 2011 at the age of 27, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire artists to this day. Her distinctive style, powerhouse vocals, and unapologetic attitude set her apart from her peers and cemented her status as a true icon of British music. In the words of Winehouse herself, "They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no." And while her demons may have ultimately won the battle, her music lives on as a testament to her talent and her uncompromising spirit. Amy Winehouse may be gone, but her voice will continue to echo through the halls of music history for years to come.
