Lioness: Hidden Treasures – Number 1 on Midweek Chart

As the warm acclaim afforded Amy Winehouse’s “Lioness : Hidden Treasures”, released yesterday, continues to grow, today sees the album go straight to number 1 on the midweek chart. 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.

Last week also saw Amy receive a Grammy nomination for her duet with Tony Bennett on the standard “Body & Soul”, recorded in March of 2011 at Abbey Road Studios in London.

“Lioness” has plenty to cherish…the joy here is being reminded anew of the voice (Tony) Bennett himself would call “as good as Ella Fitzgerald”. An admirable tribute”. Q

“The truly gruelling thing about Lioness is that most of it is beautiful and effortless and easy…it sounds like a great new record by someone who is spectacularly alive. But is it isn’t. And that’s what breaks your heart”. Uncut 4*

“Camden’s troubled genius is remembered for all the right reasons with this posthumous release. A vivid snapshot of her clear talent”. GQ

“Utterly bewitching. A fitting final tribute”. Shortlist

“This album stands up to Amy’s past and is a fitting tribute to her”. Music Week

    Ni bien salio escuché Lioness y no pude contener las lagrimas..no podía creer que una persona puediera cantar de ese modo y que a través de su voz se reflejen todos sus sentimientos.

    Ella cantaba desde su alma y corazón, el disco es realmente conmovedor :)

    Te quiero Amy!

    Lioness: I have it. It is like a beautiful flower but the petals are slowly falling off. I opened it slowly and deliberately. This will be the last Amy Winehouse album I will ever open. I read all the liner notes three times. Now I can’t bring myself to play the CD because it will make it all real and true and this will be the end. There will be no more found “hidden treasures.” No more new songs. No more Amy…no more Amy.

    If I listen to it, I think I will feel like I am being gutted–I’m afraid to hear her words from beyond. How obsessed I was and still am, and will always be, will not change. She sang my life, although I am twice her age. I really don’t know if I can put the sounds of this music’s finishing touches into my heart without it breaking. Amy was all real all the time- but so tormented, but really only by her youth-she was the same as all women who fall in and out of love with alcohol and drugs in the mix and end up in a big mess…except her gift for expressing the angst, sorrow, and failures was truly phenomenal.

    I like seeing her smiling and happy. I wish she could have made it past the bad. She was deserving of so much of the good still to come. But, I’ve said it before and I will say it again. Somehow, still, I cannot picture her past her young age of twenty-seven.

    She had to take care of everyone. All the people involved with her in every way and her company depended on her. I think her maternal instincts knew she HAD to sing to support all the families of the band, etc. that fed their families because of her performances. I never knew her but I think she cared so much for the people in her life.

    I don’t know when I will listen to this. It’s so solidly the real end.

    Sleep tight Amy, I love you every day.

    It was hard to listen to her speaking at the end of A Song For You. She was the real thing.
