Amy Winehouse has reached the demo stage in the production of her forthcoming new album, the follow-up to the hugely successful 'Back To Black'.

Lucian Grange, Chairman and Chief Executive of Winehouse's label, Universal Music Group, told BBC 6Music that the troubled singer had played him demos of the new material and previewed some of the songs live.
