Okay. She’s managed to perform without collapsing or slurring. She was spotted out holding hands with a cute (although probs gay) boy, and she was looking pretty cute herself. But a record label? Amy Winehouse needs a record label like she needs another crack pipe. But don’t worry, the siren song of sanity has never stopped Amy before, and it’s not starting now. She’s launching a damn record label.
Five time Grammy winner Amy Winehouse, the most exciting and biggest-selling female artist to emerge in the music scene in years, follows the enormous worldwide success of her 10 million selling album “Back To Black”, with the launch of her own record label, Lioness Records. Inspired by Berry Gordy’s Motown, and The Specials’ 2Tone label, Amy wanted to create a label where she could sign and work closely with a small roster of artists she really believed in. The first release on the new imprint will be “Introducing Dionne Bromfield”, the debut album from thirteen year old Londoner Dionne Bromfield.
Speaking about Dionne, Amy says, “The first time I heard Dionne sing, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing… such an amazing voice from such a young girl. I’m just so proud of her. I’m very lucky to have a record label. I’ve got all these people that I love, that are really talented – and Dionne is my number one”.
Oh, God. If there’s anything more upsetting in here than Amy Winehouse and a record label, it’s Amy Winehouse and a 13-year-old girl. What the hell kind of parent is going to turn to their barely teenage daughter and say, “Yes, sweetheart, just do it exactly like Amy Winehouse did”??? Insanity. My fingers are crossed for all parties involved.
At least she’s giving herself breast exams… even if it is on stage. Or is that where she hides her crack pipe these days?
Frankly, I’m just glad Amy is doing something positive instead of something that could land her back in rehab. She’s too talented to not further her career, and helping others do so is even more awesome.
Dionne is her godchild and was seen out with her in pictures during her Camden junkie days. I’m not saying it’s good that she’s working with a child, but hopefully the parents know enough about Amy to keep a very close watch on them.
