Amy Winehouse

Singer rumoured to be leaving Island Records

Amy Winehouse is rumoured to be leaving Island Records after her next album to start up her own label.

Winehouse is keen to get into business with Alex Haines, who it is claimed she is dating.

Winehouse would apparently like to sign her friends Remi Nicole and Tyler James and have control over her own finances.

A source told The Sun: "For the first time in her career, Amy is beginning to have her head turned by the cash she can make."

"It's never been a huge deal in the past, but she is beginning to realise everyone else is making all the money out of her success.

"Her deal with Island ends after the next record. That's why they are trying to get her to clean up first and make sure it's a classic.

"She's been planning it with Alex, who has a bit of music know-how from working as her manager's assistant."
