Good news for fans of Amy Winehouse: at least a dozen new tracks from the late singer could be released, according to a spokesman for Universal, the parent company for Winehouse's label Island Records.
The spokesman tells The Guardian that the singer had put down the "framework" for the songs, and was keen to record them. "Amy had expressed an interest in getting back into the studio, and after some consultation everyone thought that would be a positive thing and a distraction from the other things she was dealing with," he said.
As for how much progress Winehouse made, the source said, "she had put down the bare bones of tracks and some were further along than others."
Winehouse had not released an album since her Grammy-winning "Back to Black" in 2006. The Associated Press reports that sales of her music have soared since her death on July 23. In the U.S., digital sales of her tracks have risen by 2,000 percent in the past week.
