Amy Winehouse - who died tragically in July - is a ridiculously amazing talent that has been wasted.

This 12-track collection comprises new tracks and versions of existing classics.



The album - which includes Our Day Will Come, Between The Cheats, Tears Dry (Original Version), Will You Still Love
Me Tomorrow, Like Smoke (featuring Nas), Valerie, The Girl from Ipanema, Half Time, Wake Up Alone (original recording), Best Friends, Right?, Body and Soul with Tony Bennett and A Song For You - showcases the old-school soul that she exudes.

Winehouse was a raw talent. Her voice is effortless and this album is a reminder of her extraordinary powers as a songwriter, singer and an interpreter of classics. On this, she oozes genius and brilliance and I will be sad when all of her unheard material has been uncovered.
