Amy WinehouseAmy Winehouse is making headlines again, but this time it’s on her own terms and not that of her drug-addled alter ego.

Winehouse was outfitted with a new set of pearly whites this weekend, repairing that sly grin on the cover of Back to Black that deteriorated in the wake of her excessive substance abuse, according ot Perez Hilton.

Perhaps more noteworthy though, though it’s hard to tell when it comes to Winehouse news, is the record label she launch today.

According to NME, Winehouse’s Lioness Records is officially in business. The first release will be from none other than Dionne Bromfield, Winehouse’s 13-year-old goddaughter, called Introducing Dionne Bromfield. Winehouse told NME she named the label after a necklace her grandmother gave her, and the label’s format was inspired by legendary Motown and 2Tone Records.

NME has posted a video of Winehouse collaborating with her goddaughter, forecasting what could be a very promising debut album.

"The first time I heard Dionne sing, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing … such an amazing voice from such a young girl," Winehouse told NME. "I’m just so proud of her. I’m very lucky to have a record label. I’ve got all these people that I love, that are really talented – and Dionna is my number one."

Winehouse is beginning to turn things around in what looked last year like a potential career collapse. She split from her husband Blake Fielder-Civil, the man her family blamed for much of Winehouse’s public downfall.

After a reassuring guest spot with The Specials at V Fest in Chelmsford, rumours are once again whirling about a follow up to her smash major label debut. Confirmation can’t come soon enough.
