Things have been a little quiet on the Amy Winehouse front of late. Sure, she’s still getting drunk and making a fool of herself regularly, and there’s the whole on/off relationship mess with Blake Fielder-Civil, but she’s out of the limelight in terms of music. Mainly because she hasn’t released anything for over three years now.

Back To Black was released in October 2006 and did fantastically well. It turned Winehouse into a huge star around the world, but also led to the party lifestyle which has left her skinny and scarred.

Are we ever going to get our hands on Amy Winehouse’s new album? I’ve personally grown a little bored of waiting but it appears its edging ever closer. At least according to Amy’s father Mitch, who claims the new album is almost ready for release.

It feels like an absolute age since Amy Winehouse released Back To Black and went from being a little-known British singer to a world famous and world-renowned diva. It’s actually only been three years, with the album released in October of 2006.

It’s been three long years since Amy Winehouse released Back To Black, an album that transformed her from a little-known singer to a world-renowned singing sensation. But since then she’s had a rather hectic time of it, some of her own doing and some not. Which means her music career has taken a backseat somewhat, with a follow-up album being constantly delayed.

Winehouse has spent a considerable amount of time in St. Lucia over the last couple of years. And there was speculation she had been so touched by the place that her new album was influenced by the culture there. …read more

I’m sure I’m not the only one eager to hear a new album from Amy Winehouse. In fact, I know I’m not the only one because her record label has been on at her for months about getting it finished and released. But Winehouse isn’t a lady (at all, arguably) to be rushed, and seems to be taking her sweet time over the follow-up to Back To Black.

Winehouse has been spending a lot of her time in St. Lucia, the Caribbean island where she has been living since December. So maybe it’s no surprise to hear that she’s been inspired …read more

Amy Winehouse has been a mess for a number of years now. As soon as she found fame and fortune it seemed to go straight to her head and set her off on a whirlwind descent into drink, drugs, and destruction.
She has spent the last six months or so relaxing in St. Lucia, having decided to take a break from performing live. She was meant to have written and recorded material for her new album in that time but that doesn’t seem to have happened.

Winehouse made her live comeback last night at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival, an annual event …read more

Amy Winehouse seems to be intent on delaying working on her new album until either one of two things happen: her record label get tired of waiting and cut her loose; we all forget who she is, what she sounds like, and the fact she even exists.
Most artists try to release new material every two years, although some, especially in the rap genre, tend to release an album every year. Amy Winehouse’s last record, Back To Black, which made her a household name around the world, was released in October, 2006 – two-and-a-half years ago.
Her record company knows it’s been …read more

Brit Music Scene has been a bit of an Amy Winehouse-free zone for the past month or so, partly because some readers requested less frequent reports on every facet of her life, and partly because she hasn’t actually done anything for weeks, having been out of the newspapers for some considerable time.
Winehouse was taken to a London hospital suffering from a chest infection last week, but is now back at home and thought to be on the road to recovery. She’s reportedly not well enough yet to have met up with husband Blake Fielder-Civil who was released from jail today …read more

Back To Black was a massive hit, propelling Amy Winehouse from perennial struggler known by a few people and their dogs in the UK to an international superstar whose name is known by almost everyone in the world. And now it’s time for her to produce a follow-up.
The problem is, this doesn’t exactly seem to be going very smoothly. In fact, friends of Winehouse are said to fear her third studio album may never actually happen, or at least not until she manages to kick her drink and drug habits completely.

The follow-up to Back To Black has seemed to …read more

Why change the habits of a lifetime? Amy Winehouse certainly looks to feel that way, as she turned up late once again for a scheduled festival appearance. The festival in question this time was Bestival on the Isle Of Wight, which had already been a wash out thanks to rain and set cancellations.
The trouble for Winehouse started even before the festival kicked off, with newspaper reports that she had ordered 48 bottles of Jack Daniels for her rider. Amy was one of the headliners for the waterlogged festival and did at least show up.
The problem was she turned up on …read more

Throughout all of the troubles Amy Winehouse has had, and they’ve been plenty, I have always tried to see past the drugs, drink, and general wrongdoing in her private life because of the quality of her singing. Unfortunately, even my faith in that part of her life has now been shaken.
This weekend saw The V Festival taking place jointly in Chelmsford and Stafford. Unlike Glastonbury, V is very much a pop festival, and embraces a more diverse mix of artists – one of whom was Amy Winehouse, taking part in her penultimate gig before having an extended break from performing.
