Bizzle: 'Winehouse has started new album'

Lethal Bizzle has said that Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson have started work on Winehouse's third album.

The rapper told The Sun that Ronson and Winehouse would soon go into the studio to record the follow-up to 2006's Back To Black.

Bizzle said: "I was talking to Mark about Amy. He thinks she's getting better and they are working together and will start recording soon. Everything he does is awesome.

"I think he's brilliant and was excited when he wanted to work on my album. Me and Amy go way back too."

He added: "We did gigs when I was in a band called More Fire Crew. She was proper cool. I reckon it will be another great album."

Winehouse reportedly launches her Lioness Records label this week, which will feature a release from her 13-year-old goddaughter Dionne Bromfield.
