The Universal record label decided to destroy all demos Amy Winehouse , as stated David Joseph , executive director of the company in the UK, in an interview to the magazine . Billboard
In this way, Lioness: Hidden Treasures , published last December, could be the last we hear of the soul diva despite the existence of other unreleased recordings he left before he died in July 23, 2011.
“It was a moral issue” said Joseph, defending thus the decision of Universal which is to ensure that in future They continue editing new records, as the aforementioned album was composed by mixing models of issues already published by Winehouse with unfinished work.
The decision to Universal denies what has happened with other legacies of deceased singers. For example, after the death of Tupac Shakur in 1996, went on sale seven new disc the musician, 10 compilations and soundtracks album in just nine years. In the case of Michael Jackson , which became the biggest selling artist in 2009, a few months Epic Records, Sony Music, published simple unpublished This is it , which was accompanied by a new bow posthumous album of the singer, along with a film showing her last tour. In 2017 his last posthumous album would be launched, under an agreement signed with the heirs for $ 250 million.
Universal’s announcement coincides with the world premiere of the documentary in theaters Amy, that Argentina still has no release date, and which the same is executive producer David Joseph. The film brings new images of the artist and testimonials through more than 100 interviews.
