The album is a mix of unreleased tracks, duets and original
recordings of some of her successful songs from Back to Black. Produced by her
close Friend Mark Ronson, the tracks are raw, no editing, pure and innocent but
in my opinion not in a good way. To me the album sounds unfinished; listening
to some of the tracks they sound unpolished and almost rushed. Yes I understand
Amy is no longer with us, so they couldn’t do 1000 recordings to get the right
one, but if you compare track 1 ‘Our day will come’ and track 11 ‘Body and Soul’
with Tony Bennett, (the two songs ready for release) to the rest of the album
you will understand what I mean.
It would have been great to have more ‘new’ songs on the
album and less of the covers and original recordings of old songs, perhaps they
haven’t been recorded but in the album sleeve hand written by Amy is a track
listing and none of these songs exist on the new album. Perhaps they don’t
exist at all, and this is just a tease to what could have been.
