Amy Winehouse producer defends new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 2 November 2011
Amy Winehouse’s long-time producer Salaam Remi has defended the decision to release a posthumous collection of songs by Amy Winehouse. As previously reported, ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures’ will be released by Universal/Island on 5 Dec, with some covers, demos and two previously unreleased tracks. £1 from each sale will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
Remi told NME: “A lot of people, through the other antics that were going on with her personally, didn’t get that she was at the top of what she did. Coming to Miami was her escape from all of that, and her writing process could document her life, whether it was recording the pain or the loneliness or the humour. It makes no sense for these songs to be sitting on a hard drive, withering away”.
