Winehouse’s surprising death left countless fans in shock, but there may be hope yet. Some sources are reporting that Winehouse was working on a third album with producer Mark Ronson before her death, and the world might get to hear it after all.
The death of Amy Winehouse spawned more than a media frenzy — fans are equally hungry for more music.
There has been no confirmation of a new album release, or even how far the record was into development. But there is a chance an entire album could be cobbled together, or there might only be a few songs. According to The Telegraph, there is “a lot of material available.”
