Amy Winehouse Told To Stay Clean Or Have Album Canned - Record Label Ultimatum
April 16, 2008 by Dave Parrack
Amy Winehouse has been issued an ultimatum from her record label which could see her never release another album. At least if she doesn’t get clean, and then stay clean in the build up to the promotion of her forthcoming third album.
Just a few days after I reported that her album has been put back to 2009, after she cancelled a trip to the Bahamas intended to be a recording session away from her usual haunts and vices, it seems that her record company aren’t willing to wait forever.
According to The Sun, chiefs at Universal Music issued the stern ultimatum in order to remind Winehouse of her responsibilities. Apparently, the warning came from Lucian Grainge, who issued a similar clean up order last year which saw Winehouse finally enter rehab.
No New Amy Winehouse Album In 2008 - Singer Cancels Bahamas Recording Session
April 12, 2008 by Dave Parrack
The chances of a new album from Amy Winehouse being released in 2008 took a downward turn today when it emerged that the singer had cancelled a recording session in the Bahamas.
According the The Sun, Island Records had booked a trip to the Bahamas for Winehouse, where she was meant to start laying down the bulk of her new album with producer Saleem Remi.
Remi is the man behind Winehouse’ first album Frank, and also had a big hand in the hugely successful Back To Black, which although being released back in 2006, is still Top Ten in the UK Album Charts.
Winehouse decided not to go on the trip, and is instead spending time in the studio with friend and producer Mark Ronson working on the theme tune for Quantum Of Solace, the new James Bond film.
