Amy Winehouse's record label has hired three studios across London for the singer to record her new album, according to reports.
Island Records are said to be so keen for Winehouse to complete her third LP that they have spent £150,000 on the studios, which are located in the north, east and west of the city.
"Amy's next record is one of the most eagerly anticipated in pop music so the record label isn't taking any chances,” a source told the Mirror newspaper.
"Although there have been some recording sessions and she has played some songs to the head of the record company, there is still no sign of the album.
"Amy simply needs to knuckle down and get some ideas flowing. Sadly Amy doesn't have a great track record in terms of reliability - she's been known to pull out of gigs.
“But she does like an all-night bender so by booking three different venues, at least the record label are assured - on the law of averages - that she'll turn up in one of them."
Winehouseis understood to have recorded a number of demos for the album, which will be the follow-up to the multi-million selling 'Back to Black'.
