I would love to listen to the 14 songs

[aleWinehouse]

The article is here http://www.billboard...-remi-addiction

Remi gave the filmmakers a recording of Wine­house reciting the lyrics to an unreleased song called “You Always Hurt the Ones You Love”; it’s evidence that her songwriting talent endured. She had talked about starting a jazz/hip-hop project with Questlove, Raphael Saadiq and Mos Def, perhaps as a way of sidestepping the ­pressure to match Back to Black. But she also had a third album mapped out, and studio time booked with Ronson and Remi for later in 2011.

“She probably finished the writing ­process a few weeks before she passed,” says Remi, who was en route to her house when he got a call saying she had died. “As far as I could see, we had 14 songs. Whatever needed to happen, it was right there.”

But Universal will never release any of the demos, because Joseph destroyed them. “It was a moral thing,” he says. “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.” It’s likely that the 2011 outtakes collection Lioness will remain Winehouse’s final release: a fragmented coda to an abbreviated life.

I do not believe that destroyed the demos! This is pure lie! 😕

Anyway, who the hell is Joseph? Who gave this man the right to go and do such a thing? What moral right does he have? This is an absolutely unbelievable statement, surely nobody as the rights to do such acts. Let's just see Chris, what universal have to say in their reply, if they say anything at all.

I believe that's not true.

 

Nobody would just DELETE stuff. Especially if the stuff belongs to legend's legacy. If that guy ever exists (btw, does he ever have some lastname?), he definitely keeps some copy in his archive, maybe he even has some idea what to do with that later

[The Other Side]

I think an producer from the Frank era that is not Salaam had about 5 almost done demos.

i don't know, wwho Joseph is, but if these rumors are true, this guy really doesn't act like a record company guy, he acts like somebody, who doesn't know, what he should be doing and wwho just wants to destroy something, cause obviously, he doen't get the meaning and the iimportance of Music and arts, does he??

Asked Janis on Twitter how she feels about it.

[The Other Side]

She does not know anything about it. Pretty crazy that she didn't have a say in it.

i don't believe it for one second, you're telling me that in todays age where music labels try to milk out as much money as they can, someone would go and delete amy's demo? someone who can generate millions of dollars for them? no way.
