Reclaiming Amy will be narrated by Winehouse's mother Janis Winehouse-Collins and will include the singer-songwriter's father, Mitch, as a guest interviewee. The BBC Two description reads: "Marking the ten year anniversary of the death of Amy Winehouse, her closest family and friends, including mum Janis and dad Mitch, reveal the truth about the British music icon. A previous press release explained that Winehouse's mother wants to be able to tell Amy's story in her own words before her Multiple Sclerosis progresses.
Between the Cheats — a new Winehouse song recorded in London in May for potential inclusion on her third album, produced by Salaam Remi. Tears Dry — originally written by Winehouse as a ballad, this is the original version she recorded in November in Miami with Remi. The later uptempo version appears on her second album Back to Black. Wake Up Alone — the first song recorded for the Back to Black sessions. This is the one-take demo recorded in March by Paul O'Duffy.
Recorded in September Valerie — an original slower tempo version of the Mark Ronson produced post-Back to Black single. Recorded in December Produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded in May Remi said that "the way she re-interpreted this bossa nova classic made me realise that I was dealing with a very special talent.
But most of the material she recorded is presumed to be missing, after label boss David Joseph destroyed her demos to prevent them being exploited. Letting other people finish her work "would never happen on my watch," he added. While many critics applauded his desire to protect Amy's legacy, her father has a different view.
But he says there may still be hope, as the family still owns some of her recordings. Always singing, constantly. The recordings include some of the star's early, pre-fame compositions. Mitch said it would give fans a new insight into how she developed as a songwriter. Janis added that, if the music were to be salvaged for release, it could be called "The Progression of Amy".
The music is one of several projects Amy's estate is working on, including a dramatised film of her life and a stage musical. However, her parents admitted that, after Amy's death, it had initially been difficult for them to hear her music or see videos of her performing. It's only been relatively recently that I've been able to do that.
