Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker has said he believes the conduct of the UK’s tabloid press, a subject of close scrutiny during recent months, played a part in the death of Amy Winehouse last summer.

The video for ‘Our Day Will Come‘, the opening track from Amy Winehouse‘s forthcoming posthumous album ‘Lioness: Hidden Treasures‘, has been unveiled today and can be viewed below.

One of the producers behind the forthcoming posthumous Amy Winehouse album ‘Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures‘ has defended the project, and insisted the album will be ‘faithful to her legacy’.

The Guardian reports Salaam Remi as telling a listening party in the Soho district of London that the record is intended to highlight the positive side of Winehouse’s short life, as the media continues to dwell on the drink and drug problems which dogged the singer after the release of ‘Back To Black‘ in 2006.

Posthumous tracks left behind by Amy Winehouse when she tragically passed away last summer have been worked into a new album by producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, and will be released later this year.

Entitled ‘Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures‘, the record will be issued on December 5th, and is to comprise 12 tracks, including covers of The Shirelles‘ ‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow‘, Donny Hathaway‘s ‘A Song For You‘ and Ruby & The Romantics‘ ‘Our Day Will Come‘.

A drug overdose has been ruled out as a possible cause of Amy Winehouse‘s death after the late singer’s family released a statement today (August 23rd) which confirmed no traces of illegal drugs were found in toxicology results.

Singer Amy Winehouse has been found dead at her home in Camden, reports the BBC.
