Amy Winehouse left a trove of unreleased music
The soul diva, struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead of unknown causes at her London home on Saturday. She was 27.
Spokesman Chris Goodman said Thursday that Winehouse left behind "plenty" of material, no discussions yet about releasing anything.
It's not clear how finished the tracks are. Winehouse released only two albums in her lifetime,
In the studio sporadically over the past few years. In July 2010 she said a new album would appear within six months, but it was never finished.
The Guardian newspaper on Thursday quoted an unnamed spokesman "close to" record label Universal as saying Winehouse had left the "framework" of about a dozen songs.
Producer Salaam Remi, who worked on both Winehouse albums — "Frank" and "Back to Black" — and was involved with her new material.
"We had a lot of things going, there are recordings, but first things first, I think," he said. "We're trying to focus on what's at hand and what her family wants to do."
There would certainly be an appetite for new material. Two days after her funeral, dozens of mourners continued to gather outside her home in north London, leaving flowers and taking photos.
Britain's Official Charts Company said it looks like Winehouse will have seven songs in this week's top 40, which is announced Sunday.
