Lioness: Hidden Treasures

Enjoyed all the musical selections, she has a very unique voice

A different side of Amy Winehouse. Captivating!

Great mix of songs that are not on any one album and the duet with Tony Bennett is exceptional. We lost someone who would have given much more when she passed so young. Very enjoyable album and you can tell she had fun doing some of these numbers with other performers and producers.

A vinyl treasure from Amy at 45rpm. Awesome pressing. I miss her...

I've read other reviews prior to purchasing this album and although the vast majority were positive, there were those hard-core fans who were disappointed, because they didn't consider this package to be a new third album by Amy, as well as were disappointed that a few tracks/alternative takes of her old songs were included on this.Well, firstly I must say that I was well aware that prior to buying this album, that the producers and record company had very little vault material to work with and did their best to put together one last album in memory of Amy. And with that said, they did an excellent job producing this project. I was not disappointed. The CD is a good listen from track one until the final track, a rarity in today's music world. I didn't have to or want to skip any track.Some of my favorites are "Our Day Will Come" Classic Amy Sound, "Tears Dry" I love this stripped down version- it highlights her beautiful voice, "Like Smoke," this could be a big hit. Nas flows nicely on this track and they both compliment each other. I can see a Grammy Nomination next year for Best Vocal/Rap collaboration, for "Like Smoke."I see from reviews that some did not like Amy's version of "The Girl From Ipanema," but I like it a lot, it really shows her jazz vocal styling, as well as it has a nice contemporary hip hop beat, which makes it more modern and approachable to younger audiences. "Half Time," is another track that I find outstanding and can see being a hit. As someone else mentioned in their review, if you heard this on the radio, you would swear it was Eryka Badu (another excellent vocalist), they both sound alike on this track. I love the whole grove of this track and can see Neo Soul die-hard fans gravitating to this track.The last two tracks seem appropriately placed, as "Body and Soul," was her last recording, which is an excellent recording that showcases her jazz vocal stylings that is very comparable to Billie Holiday. And the last song, "A Song For You, " was a bitter-sweet end track, because it sums up her life and career, as she at times struggled and slurred her way through the track, but in the end she delivers her song just for you.

These are the remaining unreleased songs by Amy Winehouse. Within her short and tragic life she managed to present a synopsis of work that truly showed she was a genius and a truly gifted artist. Here we have covers of some classics and alternate takes of songs already released plus a few never heard before. The covers are simply amazing and she makes each her own. OUR DAY WILL COME is sublime. She totally reinvents THE GIRL FROM IPANEMA with a stupendous vocal performance. WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW gets a very dramatic presention and her vocals match it with an intense emotional performance. Whatever the song or style of music Amy Winehouse always showed an inate understanding of the music and approached each song with all she had. Her true range and emotional capacity was always amazing.BEST FRIENDS, RIGHT is an excellent heartfelt song and we get alternate versions of TEARS DRY and WAKE UP ALONE which were both on BACK TO BLACK. One of the true standout tracks is her duet with Tony Bennett BODY AND SOUL. Her vocal interpretation is haunting and lovely displaying her at her best. There are some true gems here and even the lesser tracks shine as they get that added dimension for they are being interpreted by a truly gifted artist. The untimely death of Amy Winehouse was a true tragedy and thankfully this collection has no filler and does her memory justice.

Like artist and her music

I became an Amy Winehouse fan back in 2007, after she became a Grammy nominee. After hearing about all the Grammy nominations she'd received I decided to purchase "Back to Black" and was floored by her powerhouse vocals. Amy continues to deliver on "Lioness: Hidden Treasures". As with "Back to Black" I can listen to every track on the cd. My favorites on Lioness are "Our day will come", Between the cheats, Valerie, which is a re-release, Like Smoke,with guest rap by Nas, who has more air-time on the track than Amy, "The Girl from Ipanema, you will like this if you know what scat-singing is, (think Ella Fitzgerald. I also like this version of "Wake up alone on this cd, it has a more acoustic feel. All in all, I like this cd as much as "Back to Black". If you are an Amy Winehouse fan you will want to purchase this album, if you aren't it is still worth a listen. In an age where truly gifted singers are few and far between, Amy was the exception. RIP Dear Amy!

Amy was undoubtedly one of a kind, and the world misses her. this album was released after she passed, so it makes it difficult to listen to - but it’s worth it.

Para los coleccionistas de vinilos como yo es muy recomendable tener esta joya de amy, de verdad es un must en tu colección. Además de que lo compre a muy buen precio ya que se cotiza muy alto

Amo o vocal da Amy. Com excessão de duas músicas que ela não canta sozinha, é um CD que vale muito a pena ter na coleção e escutar muito, mas muito essa voz deliciosa que a Amy tinha.

Super skiva, men önskar att det var en och inte två stycken, blir lite jobbigt att behöva byta

Collezione postuma, nell'insolita incisione su sue LP da 180 grammi da ascoltare a 45 giri.Contrariamente a ciò che contraddistingue (in negativo) il capolavoro "Back to Black", rovinato da una stampa indegna, qui la qualità audio è all'altezza di questa Grande Artista, andata via troppo presto.Ad alcuni grandi classici del suo repertorio si aggiungono due inediti degni d'attenzione.I due dischi sono i buste antistatiche e la copertina, anche se mi appare delicata, è di buona qualità.Se vi piace Amy Winehouse, non potete non aggiungerlo alla vostra collezione.
