Amy Winehouse: The Lioness' Final Roar

Lioness: Hidden Treasures is not always pleasant to listen to—in fact, at some points it’s downright sad—but if we ignore the tracklist and listen instead in chronological order, we can trace the British soulstress’ rise from obscurity to beehived diva and her subsequent tragic fall.  read more
