Even after her passing, Amy Winehouse's voice lives on.
Island Records and the late singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, announced on Monday that a new album of previously unreleased songs will be released on December 5th. The twelve new tracks were put together by Winehouse's closest producer collaborators, Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi.
"I spent so much time chasing after Amy, telling her off that I never realized what a true genius she was," her father told The Sun. "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."
The album will include "Body And Soul," the song she recorded with Tony Bennett before her death, as well as a number of completely unheard songs and a few songs that were featured in different tempos or versions of her previous two albums.
"I believe she has left something beyond her years. She has put a body of work together that will inspire an unborn generation," Salaam said. "I'm blessed to be part of that process, to have known that person and to continue her legacy with this album."
