Amy Winehouse Wants To Start Own Record Label | Blake Wants £3 Million Divorce Payout

Amy Winehouse seems to be in the process of sorting her life out. She’s apparently split with Blake Fielder-Civil, and is looking to start her own record label with alleged new squeeze Alex Haines.
Although the split has yet to be confirmed, reports are already emerging that Fielder-Civil is looking for a £3 million payout in the event of a divorce. She has already spoken to her financial advisers about keeping her fortune safe from Blake, but without a pre-nup (surprise surprise), the chances are he’ll get something out of it.
Amy seems to have already moved on to Alex Haines, her manager’s assistant. And not only are they said to be together, they are making business plans.
Winehouse is currently signed to Island Records, but the deal ends after her next album, whenever it ends up arriving. Rather than signing another deal, Amy is thought to be planning to start her own record label, and signing up friends Tyler James and Remi Nicole in to the bargain.
Island Records are desperate for Winehouse to get clean and finish her third album for them, and they want it to be a classic which makes even more money for them than Back To Black has. Winehouse seems to finally be wising up to the fact that the world is her oyster, and with control of her own destiny, she could make an even bigger fortune than she already has.
A pal told The Sun newspaper:
“For the first time in her career, Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make. It’s never been a huge deal in the past, but she is beginning to realise everyone else is making all the money out of her success.”
Can Winehouse be finally getting herself sorted out? We’ve heard these types of rumours before, with her supposedly making a vow to get clean and focus on her career, but they usually come to nothing.
Winehouse is a precocious talent, but one which needs to be fostered and not allowed to die - literally or figuratively.

1 opinion for Amy Winehouse Wants To Start Own Record Label | Blake Wants £3 Million Divorce Payout

i think Amy should start her own record label and release a new album, then she has a diffrent path to follow and she might get her life back on the right track, and hopefully kick the drug habbit and return to how she was in the year 2003 when she first appeared on the music scene. With incredable talent, and great songwritting, she just needs a good word of addvice and a push in the right dirrection, help from family and friends, and then prehaps she could do it and be selling millons of records and be at her very best again. Im a big fan of Amy and hope that she turns her life round for the best.
