Last night at Quad Studios in Times Square, Amy's long-time producer and close friend Salaam Remi previewed all 12 tracks of the album, a trove of unreleased tracks as well as alternate versions of songs recorded for her previous two albums Frank and Back To Black.Ĭompiled in close cooperation with Amy’s family and musical confidantes, The Lioness was clearly a labor of love for Remi, who worked with the late singer from the time she was just 18, and acted as her “musical treasurer.”įor those who may be unfamiliar with Salaam Remi, his name is not pronounced “Remy” like the cognac it’s “Ray-Me” like the second and third notes of the musical scale.
The album's title refers to the name Amy had written on her guitar, befitting her regal ferocity. Lioness: Hidden Treasures is the third album from the late Amy Winehouse, scheduled to be released on December 6-less than six months after her tragic death at age 27.
