MP3: Saint Etienne cover Amy Winehouse ‘Just Friends’

Comments

The August issue of Q Magazine comes in the form of an Amy Winehouse tribute, Back To…Back To Black. Delivered jam packed with a companion CD to go alongside an extensive feature, the disc includes covers of Winehouse’s best material, including one via Saint Etienne. They recorded their least favorite track, as they were afraid they’d ruin the best ones.

They definitely made the song their own, download it for free below. Unfortunately, the CD is only available in the UK, due to copyright issues. Make sure to pick up Words and Music by Saint Etienne, the latest album from the legendary UK electro-pop outfit.

Nas ft. Amy Winehouse: Cherry Wine

Comments

Moments ago, Radio One premiered the new Nas track Cherry Wine which features Amy Winehouse, it is one of their many collaborations and the second to surface. I’m loving the laid back vibe of her voice on this even though it’s so bittersweet to hear her on new material.

The track is due to be released on Nas’ upcoming album Life Is Good on July 17th.

Amy Winehouse: Halftime

Comments

Here is Halftime, the third previously unreleased Amy Winehouse track from Lioness which is due for release on December 5th.

It’s a stripped back number that was recorded in 2002 for the glorious Frank album but did not end up making the cut.

Don’t forget to check out  OurDay Will Come, and my favorite of the three tracks Like Smoke which features Nas.

Amy Winehouse: Like Smoke (ft. Nas) & Our Day Will Come

Comments

Hot on the heels of the news about Amy Winehouse‘s posthumous album Lioness, due for release December 13th, today we get our first listen to two of the tracks. Like Smoke was recorded back in 2008, to which her pal Nas has added some bittersweet verses, fulfilling her wish that they work together. Our Day Will Come is a Ruby & The Romantics cover recorded back in 2002.

Listening to these tracks just kills me, she had so much talent and would surely have gone on provide us with so many classic tracks had she not been plagued by so many demons. Rest in peace, dear Amy.
