Nas and Amy Winehouse‘s “Cherry Wine” surfaced this week, and while it may be the last original composition the late London songstress appears on, the tune apparently won’t be the final one released with her vocals atop it. “I’m not sure that there is much more but I’m sure that we will get at least one other album out, if not two,” Amy’s father Mitch Winehouse said during an interview with BBC Radio 6 Music. “There are loads of covers, loads of them. But the problem is we don’t want to rip anybody off. When her fans are so precious to us we don’t want to put out dross.”
In December last year, Winehouse’s first posthumous collection Lioness: Hidden Treasures was released, following the singer’s death last July. Among the demos and covers that made up the tracklist, Nas and Winehouse’s retro-throwback collaboration “Like Smoke” was included. Would you be willing to spend money on an album of covers by Amy?

I personally miss Amy Winehouse. I can’t believe it’s been a year since she passed away. What a loss! I see a lot of people have shared memories about her on her memorial page within Evertalk in Facebook. Here’s the link: https://apps.facebook.com/evertalk/index/memorial/amywinehouse987
I was a big fan of Amy Winehouse. I miss her and her music. Thanks for the heads up on the Evertalk page Christina.
