Amy Winehouse’s third album is reported to shaping up as “much darker” than her already pretty dark previous effort ‘Back To Black.’

The singer is once again recording the album alongside Mark Ronson, but it’s thought that her personal woes – including drug addiction, a husband in jail and her recent skin condition - have added to the magnitude of the record.

A totally authentic looking source told The Sun: “She’s written quite a lot of the third album already.

“It is very, very dark but she produces some of her best music when she’s in pain — and the past few months have been hell for her.

“She might have all this fame and wealth but she’s never been so down as she is now.”

News reports in the Sunday tabloids over the weekend have also claimed that Wino’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil has been beaten up by fellow inmates at London’s Pentonville Prison.
