Amy Winehouse is all set to sing “Its my Party”
Amy Winehouse is reportedly set to sing a cover of the 1963 hit “It’s My Party” for music producer Quincy Jones’ upcoming album Q: Soul Bossa Nostra, which would mark her first new song in about four years, during which she battled alcohol and drug addiction, assault charges, a messy divorce and a series of health scares.
Winehouse, a British soul singer who turns 27 on Tuesday, had teamed up with friend and producer Mark Ronson to record the song, the Associated Press said.
“It’s My Party”, a Leslie Gore song, was the first hit single produced by Jones and has often been featured and referenced in television and films, such as the 1990 movie Problem Child. It contains the lines: “It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to / Cry if I want to / Cry if I want to / You would cry too if it happened to you.”
Winehouse had been quoted in July as saying she planned to release her third album in January at the latest. She last recorded music in 2006, when she released the album Back to Black, which earned her five Grammys.
The singer, who spurred the internationally-successful and what would become ironic hit “Rehab” and her own Halloween costumes due to the beehive she often sports, appeared to have been on the fast-track to success.
But throughout the past few years, Winehouse has gradually lost weight, has appeared drunk at concerts, has been involved in violent confrontations at clubs and other venues. Winehouse pleaded guilty in January on charges of assault of a theater manager and was given a two year conditional discharge and a fine.
