Amy Winehouse rarin' and ready to go on new album :: Music News :: Articles

Yes, Amy! For the love of Ronnie Spector, get in the studio as quickly as you can, before any more of this tabloid trash about you can pile up. I don't care what you're smoking, where your visa status stands, or just what the hell you and Pete Doherty are doing together. Just give us some more of that throwback pop songcraft, please.

Thankfully, Winehouse's producer and collaborator Mark Ronson has some good news for us on that front.

"As soon as I finish up the Daniel Merriweather record I am going back into the studio with Amy Winehouse to work on her new record," Ronson told Rolling Stone. "She is actually dying to go back into the studio already. I was in London last weekend and I saw Amy and we actually talked about maybe finding a studio together."

The two are currently trying to coordinate their schedules to start working on the follow-up to Back to Black. Don't expect a total rehash of the duo's past efforts, however.

"I think that we can't do the same thing again, it can't be like a '60s element or Motown," Ronson said about the new album. "If anything, I'd really like to make it sound older or more morbid or like really wall of sound. But I don't want to second guess before I actually hear the songs."
