Amy Winehouse’s new album has a song about cooking meatballs

A track from Amy Winehouse’s latest album would certainly turn out to be a song to savour, literally so, for it is based on cooking meatballs.

While Amy’s been keen to eat healthily and put on weight since she came out of hospital last month, her new album is reportedly an attempt to recapture her childhood.

The unnamed track goes: “I can cook, chicken soup, meatballs, a good chicken – jerk and fried.”

Amy revealed that she used to pop into the kitchen of her favourite boozer The Hawley Arms, grab some frozen mince, and make meatballs for her pals after boozy nights out.

She is also known for splashing hundreds of pounds on her favourite jerk chicken, steak, rice, and peas for her posse at Mr Jerk’s in London’s West End.

“When Amy’s working she gets loads of Caribbean food delivered to the studio. It can get a bit messy sometimes. But that’s where Amy gets her soul from – good old-fashioned soul food,” revealed the source. (ANI)

French first lady Carla Bruni is hurt by the criticism of her new album. In the new album Bruni croons about her love for husband President Nicolas Sarkozy, previous lovers and cocaine.

The album received bland response from media and public in France, with newspaper Liberation’s website calling it a “pale copy of her first record”.

The 40-year-old former model is devastated with the frosty response to her third album. “Of course it hurts me, but I also find it quite natural,” Contactmusic quoted her as saying.

“It’s understandable that people can’t help mixing up my work as an artist and my function. Maybe they feel offended by the fact the head of state’s wife should make a record,” she added. (ANI)

Carla Bruni bracing herself for reaction to album

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has already come to turns with the fact that the French public might scorn her new album just because she’s married to their President Nicolas Sarkozy. The French first lady’s third album - Comme Si De Rien N’Etait - is set to be released on July 11 in France.

And, Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy admitted in an interview with VSD magazine that she’s bracing herself for reaction to it, reports the BBC. “If people don’t listen because I married the president of the republic, I understand,” she told the mag. However, if people do like it, she admits she would be “delighted”.

“And if people especially like it, that is what counts for me,” she said. Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy also revealed that the lyrics were penned “a little bit before, a little bit during and a little bit after” her swift romance with Sarkozy. Her change in status will however mean that she will not be touring to promote the album.

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy’s record label Naive has also confirmed that 14 tracks of the album will be available for free on www.carlabruni.com from 08.30 BST until July 21. The yet-to-be-released album will be sold internationally as “Simply”, and royalties will go to charity. (ANI)
