Winehouse Working On Third LP


Amy Winehouse has been working on her follow-up to her smash sophomore release 'Back To Black' for most of 2008. Here are some of the rumours circulating since the beginning of 2008.

After a surprise duet with Prince at the end of a London appearance, he proposed that she fly to his Minnesota home to work on a musical collaboration.

Meanwhile, George Michael wrote a song with which he wants to duet with Winehouse. Michael said "Amy is the best female vocalist I have ever heard in my entire career, as well as one of the best writers."

The singer expressed interest in working with Damian Marley, son of reggae legend Bob Marley, in Jamaica.

Winehouse has begun work on songs for a forthcoming album, in collaboration with Mark Ronson.

Pete Doherty said that Babyshambles had begun collaborating with the singer on a song entitled "You Hurt the Ones You Love". In May 2008, Doherty announced that he will duet with Winehouse on a track for the forthcoming Babyshambles album.
Winehouse is writing the song with Babyshambles guitarist Mick Whitnall. In addition Doherty said that Winehouse was "recording loads of new stuff" and that he is taking a "back seat" in the collaboration process.[63]

Winehouse said she has written "loads of songs" for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace and "it’s up to them if they want it or not.”

According to a newspaper report Winehouse plans to start her own record label when she has fulfilled her contractual obligations to to her current label Island Records.

Hopefully the album will be amazing, like the last, and will be released by the end of 2008 or early 2009.
