*A new album of unreleased tracks from late soul singer Amy Winehouse is set to be released on December 5th, just in time for Christmas. The album, titled Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures, is made up of cover songs, demos, and tracks recorded for, but not included on, her debut album Frank released in 2003. For every album sold 1 British Pound ($1.59) will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity set up in the singer’s honor to help support or care for young people with problems. Some fans have expressed anger at the release, complaining that the charity donation is too small, and that the release of material previously considered unsuitable, especially so close to Christmas, is simply an attempt to cash in on the singers recent death at the age of 27.
