Description

Lioness: Hidden Treasures is a posthumous compilation of recordings by Amy Winehouse, released on 2 December 2011 on Island Records — five months after her death on 23 July 2011 at the age of 27. Compiled by her long-time producers Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson in close collaboration with the Winehouse family, it draws on material recorded across the full span of her career — from early sessions predating her 2003 debut Frank through to recordings she was working on in 2011. All proceeds from the album were donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The twelve tracks span an extraordinary breadth of material. "Body and Soul" — a duet with Tony Bennett, recorded in March 2011 and released as the album's lead single — was Amy's final studio recording and captures her voice in breathtaking form. Elsewhere, the album includes her reading of "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and a version of "The Girl from Ipanema", alongside the hip-hop-inflected "Like Smoke" featuring Nas, and the retrospective intimacy of "Between the Cheats" and "Tears Dry" in its original version. The album debuted at number one in the UK with 194,966 copies sold in its first week — the fourth fastest-selling album of 2011.
