Amy Winehouse's Third Album Could Still Be Released
According to the London Daily Telegraph, the unfinished material off the late singer's third album "could be" released posthumously.
The singer famous for the hit "Rehab" is on the process of recording the follow up to 2006's "Back to Black" when she was found dead on July 23 in her apartment in Camden, North London. The Daily Telegraph reports the songs done by Winehouse were "merely demos", but the material is enough to fill out a third posthumous record. Although already foreseen as the biggest album of the decade, the fallen singer's parents are "most likely" to have the final say if the record will be released or not.
Winehouse broke out in 2003 with her debut record "Frank" which included early singes such as "F*ck Me Pumps", "Stronger Than Me" and "In My Bed". Noted for her sensual voice and provocative lyrics, critics were early to suggest that Winehouse's voice is the best thing to ever happen to contemporary music in ages. New York Times music critic Nate Chinen described the singer's debut album as "a glossy admixture of breezy funk, dub and jazz-inflected soul"; while Rolling Stone Magazine writes "Frank is the sound of a prodigiously talented artist trying to figure out what she wants to do with all that talent".
Amy Winehouse slid through the mainstream with her 2006 full-length record "Back to Black", an album that effortlessly made the singer a legend in pop music. The album won main citations in 2008's Grammy awards, including Song of the Year and Record of the Year for the track "Rehab". The singer's public battle with alcoholism and drug addiction prevented an early follow up to the successful album that sold billions of copies worldwide. Winehouse's last rehab stint was in London's Priory Clinic, where doctors allegedly warned the star to "sober up or die". The singer's last performance was in Belgrade, Serbia last June where 20,000 fans booed her off for drunkenly performing and forgetting the lyrics of her songs.
