New Amy Winehouse Album
27 Answers
During her lifetime, Amy recorded a lot of stuff.
Her musical instinct told her what was good, and should be released, and what was rubbish, and should be dumped.
As a result, she becomes known for great music.
After her death, some money grabber digs up all the poop that Amy herself has rejected, and releases a "new" album, of "previously unreleased" material (previously unreleased because Amy's discerning musical instinct told her to NOT release it).
So has anyone bought the new Amy Winehouse "rubbish that she discarded" album?
Is it any good?

There are original recordings of afew songs which was nice to hear a different arrangement. There are alot of passages from people she worked with aswell. \also it says in the album sleeve that £1 of every sale is going to the charity her Dad set up for disadvantaged kids. I'd recomend it :)
On what basis do you claim to know what Amy Whitehouse was thinking at any point, unless she self published (she didn't) there are many people involved in what goes out on any album. Having listened to Amy since before Frank was released I couldn't say why certain things weren't released but unreleased materiel will always be brought to market after an act becomes defunct through whatever reason, look at the Beatles for instance.
I absolutely adored her music and as Mark Ronson has something to do with this new album I hoped for the best. I've heard a couple of tracks and they haven't grabbed me and I so wanted them to. Lots of it is really early stuff before Frank and before she developed to the full that gorgeous deep throaty style. I heard one track just after I had been listening to her singing Don't Go to Strangers with Paul Weller and thought there was no comparison. But I will buy it and hope to be proved wrong.
