Amy Winehouse Still Sick
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Music, Music Award on the May 6, 2008
Amy Winehouse is still a mess and everyone around her knows it. The British pop wreck’s collaborator on ‘Back to Black’, Mark Ronson, was set to work with her for the theme song to the new James Bond flick but it didn’t pan out. Mark said “We did work on it but we never finished it. I don’t think it will happen unless by some miracle it gets recorded and someone sings on it. I’m not sure Amy is ready to work on music yet.†Wino’s rep released a politically correct statement about Mark’s comment saying “Mark presented a track to Amy, but she had other ideas about the direction it should take. We’re sure they will continue to make great music together.†I’m sure they will unless Wino ends up dead soon.
Amy Winehouse goes from Black to Blacker
Posted in Amy Winehouse, Lyrics, Mark Ronson, Singers on the March 31, 2008
If you thought Back To Black was dark, wait until you hear Amy Winehouse´s third album. The troubled star has almost become a recluse since contracting an ugly skin condition and friends are terrified about her negative state of mind.
They say she has never been this low — and that she has been writing sinister song lyrics about death.
Again writing with Mark Ronson, Amy has played some of the new songs to pals. They were impressed but disturbed by the moodiness of her follow-up to the eight million-selling Back To Black.
Some of the lyrics are so bleak that it is even being described as “suicidal musicâ€.
A source said her skin complaint was dragging her mood down further and added: “Her next album is darker than ever. Amy’s got low self-esteem anyway but her skin has made her want to hide away from the rest of the world. And we have started noticing more and more cuts on her arms. Her problems are pushing her over the edge and she’s turning into a depressed recluse. It’s not good for her to stay in so much. People try to get her to leave the house and tell her not to worry about what people say. But she’d rather sit around her dingy flat all day writing about death.â€
Despite the morbid nature of the new material, it’s sure to be a hit with fans.
The source added: “She’s written quite a lot of the third album already. It is very, very dark but she produces some of her best music when she’s in pain — and the past few months have been hell for her. She might have all this fame and wealth but she’s never been so down as she is now.â€
Mark Ronson making no money
Posted in Concert, Grammy Awards, Mark Ronson on the February 18, 2008
Music producer Mark Ronson has been warned by his manager to cut back on his huge entourage; because he is not making enough money to keep them on tour.
Despite being among this year’s Grammy winners with his own gong for Producer Of The Year the Valerie hitmaker is failing to make money from touring.
But Ronson is putting his lack of earnings down to the fact that he brings too many friends on tour with him, which is clawing away at his profits.
He says, “My manager is annoyed with me, because I always bring so many people on tour with me. The costs are so high that I never make money from touring, but I don’t really care about that. If we can break even, I’m fine. This isn’t my day job. Producing records is my day job.”
