Top 5 best songs released posthumously
Содержание
When our favourite vocalists leave for good, it's a very painful and sad... But at the same time - their songs are starting to be more in demand than ever. Alas, but that's how it works. The public develops a greater appreciation and interest, and sometimes it is after the death of an idol that his or her records soar to the top of the charts the very next week.
Of course, such a phenomenon is a wonderful commercial spirit for labels and companies. Just imagine how much money can be made from... let's say - previously unreleased demos or recordings that the artist himself considered unfinished. It may sound a bit wild, but at the same moment - for many fans the opportunity to hear their hero after his death is best gift on Earth! For some, of course, it may be a little creepy. But for most, it's extremely interesting and enjoyable. Today we decided to remember the best tracks that were released "too late", i.e. posthumously. All of them became a satisfactory completion of the performer's discography, and once again strengthened his status as a legend....
Amy Winehouse, "Our Day Will Come."
Amy Winehouse didn't come too soon, in 2011 at the age of 27 years old. Inner demons have taken away one of the greatest voices in modern pop music, but her image as a legend continues to grow and spread her influence around the world... Speaking of the "Our Day Will Come" - this song was recorded for her debut album, which was never released. It was only after the singer's death that this cover of the song Ruby & the Romantics was included in a posthumous collection of unreleased tracks, duets and snippets of demos called "Lioness: Hidden Treasures".
Salaam Remywho produced Amy's classic albums "Frank" and "Back to Black", said:
"Our Day Will Come" serves as a poignant reminder of her amazing talent. It's an early glimpse into the period when she was just beginning her career - it was recorded when Amy was just 18 years old. You can hear a hint of the confidence she later developed that eventually made her a star..."
Johnny Cash, "God's Gonna Cut You Down."
Rick Rubin is known for producing records by rock titans such as Metallica, Rage Against the Machine and Nine Inch Nails. But when it comes to his collaborations with Johnny Casham, most music lovers open their mouths in amazement... Alas, many forget that he hooked up with a country star in the early '90s and helped her get back on track after Cash's career went south in the '80s.
They've created a whole series of albums "American Recordings."In 2006, after the singer's death, he was released. In 2006, after the singer's death, he released "American V: A Hundred Highways."at which a composition was presented "God's Gonna Cut You Down". Cash's magnificent version shines brighter than hundreds of interpretations from other performers! The lyric, by the way, warns sinners that they cannot bypass God's judgement and that we will all end up in it eventually....
Chris Cornell's "When Bad Does Good."
Chris Cornell put his life on hold in 2017, the same night he played his last concert with the Soundgarden... A year later, his family put together a posthumous album of the same name as a tribute and tribute to Chris, whose last track was a "When Bad Does Good.".
Unlike most of the tracks on the disc, this was a completely complete full song - mixed, recorded and produced by Chris himself, and only found in his personal archive of recordings after his death. "When Bad Does Good." doesn't often stand out as a standout track in Cornell's career, but considering all the events - it's a truly iconic composition and a "one last bow from the artiste" (as critics have emphasised).
Jeff Buckley - "Everybody Here Wants You"
Jeff Buckley died in May 1997 in an accident. He was only 30 years old. The following year, the artist's only posthumous album was released, "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.". It consisted of exquisite but unfinished studio tracks and demos that Buckley recorded before his death. One of the diamonds was a song "Everybody Here Wants You".
"Everybody Here Wants You" - album highlight! It's a love ode dedicated Joan Wasserand Jeff's then-girlfriend. The composition is mesmerised by the subdued vocal performance of Buckley, who was known to be more emotive in his earlier work. It captivates with a spirit of love and sincerity, and is one of his most personal and heartfelt songs....
Jimi Hendrix, "Ezy Ryder."
"Ezy Ryder." was included on the first of Hendrix's many posthumous albums - the "The Cry Of Love". Written by him personally, this track was inspired by the cult classic film from 1969 "Careless Rider."from which, in fact, it takes its name.
In this song, Hendrix proves, even after his own death, that he was the most virtuosic and phenomenal. the guitarist of all time! When listening to "Ezy Ryder" it is obvious that the idol of millions was developing more and more as a guitarist in the sunset of his days....
