As Vulture has pointed out, immediately after her death, there was no concrete news on the status of a speculative third Amy Winehouse album. But with a new report from the Guardian … there’s still no concrete news. According to the paper, “A spokesman close to Universal, the mother company of the singer songwriter’s label, Island Records, said the singer had put down the ‘framework’ of around a ‘dozen’ new songs.” Also, “A source close to Winehouse’s management said it was believed there was ‘masses’ of material around, perhaps enough for more than one album. ‘Amy was a writer, she was always writing songs. She had studios at home and would create demos. It seems that she was singing and playing drums to the last … They need to sit down with a producer and shake [the material] into tracks.’” Lots of sources in near proximity! Anyway, while that all sounds fairly reasonable and is most likely accurate, it also suggests nothing as to when we might actually hear a Winehouse album, or what would actually be on it. Stay tuned.
