Lioness: Hidden Treasures is the first (possibly of many) posthumous albums and compilations from Amy Winehouse. Mark Ronson, Salaam Remi and Amy’s family compiled this collection of songs and proceeds from the album go to the foundation set up in the wake of her passing; The Amy Winehouse Foundation. It has been clearly stated by her label that this is not the follow up to her certified platinum 2006 album Back to Black but more a collection of songs ranging from before her debut, Frank in 2002 up to her tragic passing earlier this year. The album features covers, demos and duets that showcase her talents and versatility.
The first song on the album, ‘Our Day Will Come’ is a lovely reggae revival styled love song produced by Salaam Remi and written by Bob Hilliard and Mort Garson. The song features a soft reggae beat with a...

There have been plenty of creepy songs over the last thousand or so years. (Mozart‘s Requiem anybody? Well everybody, eventually.) We’ve decided to compile The 88 Creepiest Song Titles Of All Time. To be fair, we left out pretty much every death metal title because, frankly, they’re all pretty creepy. Click on the names of each artist to hear the selection. And feel free to weigh in on any song titles we may have left out in the comments. 88. “My Ding-a-Ling” Chuck Berry A no-brainer. It’s a song about a little boy discovering his penis, and it’s sung by a man well into his 40s. Perverted Justice’s favorite tune. 87. “Two Lovely Black Eyes” Charles Coborn What’s lovelier than a woman who was beaten in the face twice? According to Charles Coborn, nothing! 86. “With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm” Stanley Holloway A song about Anne Boleyn,...

John Legend & The Roots - Wake Up! "Wake up everybody, no more sleepin' in bed, no more backward thinkin', time for thinkin' ahead..." Back in the sixties, Eugene McDaniels created a glorious anti-Vietnam War anthem titled "Compared To What" that became a hit by Les McCann and sax blower Eddie Harris, its most passionate read delivered by Roberta Flack on her First Take album. This brilliant protest song, whose lyrics earned McDaniels a spot on Nixon's hit list, gets reworked into an urgent call-up by John Legend and his pals The Roots to be as relevant in 2010 as it was in 1969 regardless of its Vietnam storyline. The track is one of Wake Up!'s best groove-a-thons, this new Legend/Roots summit producing some of the most soulful and inspired recordings ever heard by either entity. It might even be appropriate to...
