Image Credit: Marc Broussely/Redferns/Getty ImagesIs this the beginning of Amy Winehouse’s comeback? The troubled soul singer is poised to release her first new music in years, the Associated Press reports.
Winehouse is said to have recorded a cover of Lesley Gore’s 1963 hit “It’s My Party” for Quincy Jones’ upcoming Q: Soul Bossa Nostra album. Her close collaborator Mark Ronson produced the track.
“It’s My Party” was one of Jones’ first major pop production credits before his legendary work with Michael Jackson. Its petulant, insistent tone fits perfectly with Winehouse’s strengths. And anyone who’s heard “Rehab” or one of their other five collaborations on 2006′s breakout Back to Black knows how arresting Winehouse can sound over a Ronson track.
Are you looking forward to hearing Winehouse’s “It’s My Party” when Q: Soul Bossa Nostra arrives in November? Think this song is a good fit for her? Hope this is the start of a full-scale return to music? Sound off in the comments.

Back to Black was brilliant hope she gets her marbles together and offers us some quality music i enjoyed her addition to the valentines day soundtrack.
I agree, she’s great, I hope she is clean.
Its her party she’ll get high if she wants to.
ahahahahahahahahaha!
We need entertainers, not inmates. Come back Amy and do what you were born to do!
Amy Winehouse has some real talent. The girl needs to get her act together and get back to music full time. Her two albums are among my favorites.
Diddo Katyo! Amy Winehouse is awesome but really needs to get it together. It would be a shame for her to waste such a amazing talent that she has.
It’s amazing to see someone with such great talent, be so insecure and morph in to a clown, a cartoon, she was so real and honest at the start. With those Bently head lights on her chest, it’s hard to take her seriouly as an artist. I use to be such a fan
Amy Winehouse is gifted, awesome & brilliant. Teamed up with Mark Ronson is a genius combination on Back to Black & I’m looking forward to her new album. I am no ones judge. I hope she can beat her demons. I appreciate her talent. You go Amy!
Our songbird is taking flight again! I’m so excited! We love how you can breathe chill-tingling emotion and style into every song out of you… your “Valerie” acapella will always be unforgettable.
bravo, bella!
Amy, Your music is dyamite! And you
need to identify yourself, Keep Clean…
I’m so glad she coming back to share her beautiful voice with us again and healthy this time.
Espetacular! A volta de AMY Será o maximo…
Amy, O Brasil/Bahia te Ama.
