The Amy Winehouse's tribute video for "Our Day Will Come," the lead single for the late singer's upcoming first posthumous compilation album "Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures," lands with a heavy heart, will be released on December 5 and features 12 tracks, including three covers and a number of previously unreleased tracks, that listening to the record had reminded those who were close to the late singer how "gifted and talented she was."The song is a cover of Ruby & The Romantics' 1963 hit single of the same name which was written by Bob Hilliard and Mort Garson, and was originally recorded by Winehouse in 2002, but has not been previously released. It's erected on a reggae groove and it's less smoky and bluesy than fans are used to hearing from her. Her voice is soft and uber-femme, like those dresses she favors. It offers a hint of Winehouse's expansive range as an artist.
The 'Rehab' hitmaker is remembered in this newly-released video which features a montage of clips spanning Winehouse's career and featuring the British soul diva in the concert, and various other archival footage, including some of her live performances and candid backstage moments, to celebrate the life and legacy of the Grammy-winning musician. Her unique style is clearly evident as the video flashes through images of her, reminds us of the talent we lost way too soon. It's a great tribute to Winehouse's style and attitude.
The video vacillates between color and black and white, and presents a panoramic view of Winehouse. It straddles the line between celebration and sadness, since we get to enjoy some of her lasting legacy via the song and to share snapshots of her career. However, once the last shot fades out, you'll feel a wash of sadness, since this is all we have left of her. Posthumous videos are always eerie to watch, and "Our Day Will Come" clip is sure to produce a lump in the throats of all of her diehard fans.
