I *sort of* agree with you actually. There's almost this spin being put on her death as if she only died because she was being so healthy all of a sudden. I know that's not what they're saying, but it's almost coming across that way. She died because she destroyed her body with drugs and alcohol. She may have been off them when she died, but we all know why she died.
Yes, there are a MILLION ways you can die as a result of long-term drug (or alchohol) addiction which are not ODing and do not require you to even be doing the substance at the time. Can you imagine the damage she's done to her body over the years? :manson: Some people, for whatever reason, have the constitution/metabolism to ride it out - some aren't so lucky.

Exactly. She was only 27 years old and yet she died, despite seemingly having turned a corner in her addiction. The damage that she had done to herself in just a few years was clearly too much for her body to take. The damage was already done. That's what they should be trying to emphasise, not trying to make her into some sort of unlucky saint. This is a real chance to show that people DO die of drug/alcohol addictions and they aren't all fortunate enough to be Keith Richards and survive the abuse they inflict on their bodies.

And the loons have come out in full force.

Some motherfucker over on Pulse is going on about how people are "acting like they're aunt died" and saying that she's now being overrated as her musical impact pre-death was no bigger than Aaliyah's.

:manson:
They're right. She had no impact. She sampled, and put on a fake Motown black woman singing voice. Move on. Geez.
You really are an idiot.
Go troll a Christina Aguilera forum, and get banned again for the zillionth time, mung!
I've never been banned from a forum, sorry to burst your bubble. :)
*snort*

Yes, you have. Go Google your username, hon. :lmao:
Again, I've neer been banned from a form.
No, you haven't been banned from a form. You have been banned from a forum, however, for trolling Christina Aguilera threads to the point where the mods had to block you. :lol2: Do a search on yourself, babycakes. :chuckle: :ban:

Why the fuck are you Googling my username anyway?

A 2 week suspension at UKMix is not banning, I love how you pink the ONE result you could find. I've posted there countless times since. And I've never trolled the Xtina threads, I got the ban because some butthurt Xtina stan didn't like me posting the "Christina Destroys the National Anthem" YouTube video in the thread about the incident in the NEWS & GOSSIP subforum. UKMix has a horrendous reputation for being pettily neurotic over what can and can't be posted and many veteran members have been axed over trivial nonsense, sometimes by accident.

Again, why are you stalking me and Googling me in the first place? You've now crossed a very uncomfortable and inappropriate line.

TickTock, what on God's great earth are you up to now? This is an Amy Winehouse thread, not a thread to abuse other members in. If you don't like Amy Winehouse(and you clearly don't), then why are you in here?

And Googling other members to try and dig up dirt on them? Get a grip!

Anyway, I see little shame in being suspended or banned from other forums. I've been suspended about 3 times on Popjustice and was banned from a Norah Jones board too. Bring it on I say.

So they're releasing a "new" collection from Amy in December. It sounds like it's going to be shit though. And that cover artwork and font is beyond crap. :sadalexz:


Posted Image

Today it’s been announced that on the 5th December, “Lioness: Hidden Treasures“, the third album from Amy Winehouse, without question one of the most talented, original, and best loved artists to emerge in popular music for decades, will be released through Island Records.

Following her tragic passing in July, some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, among them Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, spent time listening over the many recordings that Amy had made, before, during, and after the release of “Frank” and “Back To Black”. It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice. It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard, a collection of songs that were a fitting testament to Amy the artist and, as importantly, Amy their friend.

The 12 track collection features previously unreleased tracks, alternate versions of existing classics as well as a couple of brand new Amy compositions, and has been compiled by long-time musical partners Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson in close association with Amy’s family, management and record label Island Records. “Lioness : Hidden Treasures” proves a fitting tribute to the artist, the talent and the woman and serves as a reminder of Amy’s extraordinary powers as a songwriter, a singer and an interpreter of classics.

The full tracklisting is as follows:

“Our Day Will Come (Reggae Version)” – reggae re-working of classic 60’s doo wop song produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded May 2002.

“Between The Cheats” – new Amy composition recorded in London in May 2008 for potential inclusion on album three produced by Salaam Remi.

“Tears Dry” – originally written by Amy as a ballad, this is the original version she recorded in November 2005 in Miami with Salaam. The later uptempo version appears on “Back To Black”.

“Wake Up Alone” – the first song recorded for the “Back To Black” sessions. This is the one-take demo recorded in March 2006 by Paul O’Duffy.

“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow” – Amy’s beautiful reading of the Carole King written Shirelles classic. Produced by Mark Ronson and featuring the Dap Kings with string arrangements by Chris Elliott who did all the strings for Mark’s tracks on “Back To Black”. Recorded in September 2004.

“Valerie” - one of Amy’s jukebox favourites. This is the original slower tempo version of the Mark Ronson produced post “Back To Black” single. Recorded in December 2006.

“Like Smoke” featuring NAS – Amy and Nas became really good friends after Amy name checked the New York rapper on “Back To Black’s” “Me & Mr Jones”. “Like Smoke” is finally Amy doing a song with one of her favourite artists. Produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded in May 2008.

“The Girl From Ipanema” – the first song the 18 year old Amy sang when she first went to Miami to record with Salaam. Salaam remarked that “the way she re-interpreted this bossa nova classic made me realise that I was dealing with a very special talent. Her approach to the song was so young and fresh, it really inspired the rest of our sessions.” Recorded in May 2002.

“Halftime” - Amy had talked to Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson of the Roots about working together. “Halftime” is a song that Amy and Salaam had worked on since the Frank sessions. The result is beautiful. Recorded in August 2002.

“Best Friends” – “Frank” era live set opener produced by Salaam Remi. Probably the first song that early Amy fans would have heard live. Recorded in February 2003.

“Body & Soul” with Tony Bennett - cover of 30’s jazz standard with hero Tony Bennett. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios London in March 2011 and produced by Phil Ramone. Amy’s final studio recording.

“A Song For You” - heartbreaking and emotional version of the Leon Russell classic made famous by Donny Hathaway. Hathaway was Amy’s all-time favourite artist and the song was recorded in one take, just Amy and her guitar, at her home in London during the spring of 2009 as she battled her demons. Produced by Salaam Remi.

Amy Winehouse new song 'Our Day Will Come' to debut tomorrow

A new song from the late Amy Winehouse's final album will premiere tomorrow morning.

Earlier this week, it was announced that fans would hear 12 specially-chosen tracks on the Lioness: Hidden Treasures collection.

The songs, recorded at various stages throughout Winehouse's life, have been picked by producer friends Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi. The album will be released on December 5.

It has now been confirmed that 'Our Day Will Come' will receive its radio debut on Radio 1's Chris Moyles breakfast show on Thursday morning.

Among the tracks included on the album is a demo version of 'Valerie', and 'Body and Soul', the 28-year-old's duet with Tony Bennett.

£1 from each sale of the LP will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was set up in her memory by father Mitch Winehouse.
