guardian.co.uk: Amy Winehouse fans rejoice – the wait for her third album may soon be over. According to her record label Island, the follow-up to Back to Black will be released in 2010. “I’ve heard a couple of song demos that absolutely floored me,” Island co-president Darcus Beese said. “Hopefully, we’ll have her album next year.” Now at this point we should probably warn you that Winehouse is not known for her punctuality. Since the singer released Back to Black in 2006, her recording career has taken a back seat while she battled alcohol and drug problems and became fodder for the tabloid press. Her rocky relationship with Blake Fielder-Civil ended earlier this year in divorce, and the star spent a period of time living in St Lucia. Understandably, fans haven’t expected to hear much in the way of new material. However, this latest announcement supports statements made last year by Universal chief executive Lucian Grange, who said he’d heard some new material that sounded “sensational”. It is believed that Winehouse’s new songs have been written with Back to Black partner Salaam Remi, although Island Records admitted that the singer had been working “in fits and starts”.
