  • Released: Amy Winehouse Demo From Age 17 [Video]

    Just when you thought you would never again hear another original recording from Amy Winehouse, someone changes all that.

    You see, when Winehouse died in 2011, her record label destroyed all unfinished demos, so as to prevent the creation of posthumous albums.

    But Gil Cang, a composer and musician from Camden, gave fans another golden Winehouse nugget when he uploaded a recording of the singer as a teenager to YouTube, reports The Guardian.

    Cang told the Camden New Journal Winehouse sang the track ‘My Own Way’ – that he co-wrote with James McMillan – while trying to attract the attention of record labels prior to signing for Island Records in 2003.

    “We’d been writing quite a lot of pop tunes, doing a lot of pop promos with various artists who would come in, many of various, dubious talent. It was at a particularly dire time in the pop world – lots of terrible, terrible girl bands and boy bands and we had to make something for them. Amy came in to see us, opened her mouth and just blew us all away,” Cang told the local paper.

    We were struck immediately by her talent – it was a real jaw on the floor moment. We were like wow, yes,” he added.

    Take it away, Amy:

    Pure talent.

    In case you’re not such a massive follower of the singer, her demos were destroyed when Universal released a posthumous album of B-sides and covers titled “Lioness: Hidden Treasures”. However, it was poorly received, so Universal UK CEO David Joseph destroyed the remainder of Winehouse’s unfinished demos:

    “It was a moral thing,” Joseph told the Guardian in 2015. “Taking a stem or a vocal is not something that would ever happen on my watch. It now can’t happen on anyone else’s.”

    Cang thought otherwise, however:

    “I’ve had it knocking about for so long. I found it again last week and thought – I’ll put it out there so people could hear it.”

    For the people!
