Winehouse´s father released a statemente regarding this new material:

Lady Gaga Shoots "You & I" Music Video

 Lady Gaga dropped by US radio station Channel 94 and spoke about her upcoming new music video for her next single, You & I, which she just wrapped up filming.

 "The premise of the video is that I've walked all the way from New York City to Nebraska to get [my boyfriend] back. It's the idea that when you're away from somebody you love it's torture. It's a very powerful and awful and strange feeling when you're away from the person you love."

 Gaga also took the time to comment on the recent passing of fellow artist, Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse Found Dead at 27

 Today is a very sad day for music, as British singer Amy Winehouse (27) has been found dead at her London home this afternoon.

 A statement has been released by the Metropolitan Police confirming the news:

 "Police were called by London Ambulance Service to an address in Camden Square NW1 shortly before 16.05hrs today, Saturday 23 July, following reports of a woman found deceased. On arrival officers found the body of a 27-year-old female who was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries continue into the circumstances of the death. At this early stage it is being treated as unexplained."

  Sadly, this tragic outcome does not exactly come as a surprise to those who have followed the troubled artist. Lately Winehouse has been on the news for her struggle with alcohol and drug addictions. 

 Her planned third studio album has been delayed as a result of her problems, as well as her recent European Tour, where she clearly appeared intoxicated.

 Here at Radio Pop Action! we believe that there is a lesson to learn from this heart breaking story. To see such a young artist go to waste as a result of drug abuse is truly sad.

 R.I.P. Amy Winehouse.

Amy Winehouse Cancels Tour

 Amy Winehouse has cancelled part of her European tour following a terrible performance in Belgrade where she appeared lost and disoriented.

 The singer mumbled the words of her songs, took her shoes off and even fell onstage during her appearance at Saturday´s gig in Belgrade’s Kalemegdan Park.

 As a result, her scheduled concerts for Monday in Istanbul and Athens on Wednesday have been cancelled.

 The statement released by her publicists reads:  

"In spite of feeling certain that she wished to fulfil these commitments, she has agreed with management that she can’t execute to the best of her potential and will return property.”

 We really believe Amy needs to get some serious help or this situation will inevitably result in tragedy.

Amy Winehouse Records Duet With Tony Bennett

 Amy Winehouse has recorded a duet with Tony Bennett at Abbey Road Studios.

 Back in January, rumours suggested that the pair were planning on a future collaboration. The track will appear on Bennett´s forthcoming album titled Duets II, a follow up to his 2006 album Duets: An American Classic.

 Aside from the Winehouse collaboration, the album credits will include artists such as Norah Jones, Mariah Carey or Sheryl Crow.

 Personally, we are happy to find out Winehouse still cares about her music career!

Amy Winehouse Records Duet With Cee Lo Green

 Amy Winehouse has reportedly recorded a duet with Cee Lo Green, according to reports by the Daily Star. They both met while holidaying in St Lucia and laid down the track. Sources state that "her voice is as good as ever. She might look frail when you see her but don't be deceived, the voice is still there."

 Apparently the pair had amazing chemistry while working together: "Amy has a house in St Lucia and decided to fly out. She and Cee Lo just clicked and he said he wouldn't leave the island until the track was done."

 No word yet on when Winehouse will release this new music but work on her new album seems to be completed: "Amy's album is entirely finished, so it's just a case of the record company deciding when to release it."

 In my opinion, I couldn´t think of a better fit for a duet with Winehouse than Cee Lo Green. I´m sure they will create magic together.

Amy Winehouse returns to music

  It has been 4 years since her last album, "Back to Black", was released and, unfortunately, Amy Winehouse has been more popular in the press lately due to her substance abuse issues than her music. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to have completely forgotten that she is, indeed, a singer and has collaborated with her long-time producer, Mark Ronson, on a song to be included in "Soul Bossa Nostra", a tribute album to the legendary Quincy Jones, who was more than happy with the final product.

  "I am thrilled that she and Mark wanted to be a part of this album and I absolutely love what they did to make the song their own," Jones said in a statement. "Amy's talents as an artist are undisputable and I am astounded not only by her voice but by her tremendous knowledge of and respect for music and its history."
