Island Records is set to release a posthumous collection, titled Lioness: Hidden Treasures, featuring 12 tracks of previously unreleased and rare recordings from the late singer, on December 5th.

The album – Winehouse’s third after “Frank” and “Back to Black” – will be released on Dec. 5. Ronson and Remi compiled the tracks in collaboration with Winehouse’s family, management and the label.

Winehouse’s final studio recording – a cover of “Body & Soul” sung with Tony Bennett – will be included in the album. Among the offerings on the album: a brand new song, “Between the Cheats,” a slower tempo version of her hit “Valerie” and “A Song For You,” a cover of the Leon Russell song also performed by Winehouse’s musical idol, Donny Hathaway. She recorded it solo in the spring of 2009.

A donation from the sale of each album will also go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which her family established after her death to help those battling addiction.
