I don't care much for the Lioness logo but the site is awesome.

[Moody's Mood]

You don't think the hungover lioness is fitting?

On da other hand...

Labels are hard work - even Madonna had to sell hers in the end, and she's a marketing genius. But still, it seems like a positive step, if Amy can focus on the creative side and has a good business partner.

Logo looks like a dead kitty with a poodle-cut tail!
They must have a new birthday-bot because I got this:

Many happy returns on your birthday day!

Hope you get a cake and lots of presents.

www.amywinehouse.com

I registered over 2 yrs ago, and have gotten a couple sales pitches, but never a b-day email.
lionessrecords.com redirects to amy's site & dionnebromfield.com says the domain is registered, but it's not up yet.
The "AmyTV" is nice on full screen. Seems to cycle through all the official videos.

Labels are hard work

Didn't work out too well for the Beatles either. The first Apple.

The logo looks like a sleepy stuffed animal. My niece though "Lioness" sold toys!

[kittengirl1000]

Her site looks good.

[Mono]

i couldn't care less about the new look.

it's pretty boring, nothing new.
it's as appealing as her myspace page and her bulletin messages written by some record company peeps.

no new album, no new site.

I think Lioness is a joint venture between Island and Amy. They're the silent partner.

Island gets new talent(tons), Amy gets up front big $$$ for promoting artists and signing artists.

I starting to understand the loyalty baby girl generates and lives by. Her people will follow her anywhere, like we do. She will be in business with Island for decades.

Island wouldn't do this with anybody. They know Amy's smart. I've always felt that Amy has a good business mind. If you lied, she would know it.

My thoughts FWIW

I suspect another reason is that Island wants to keep Amy happy, as well as keep her engaged with music and therefore out of trouble as much as possible. I'm not suggesting it's just a vanity label though. For some artists it would be, but given it's Amy, and given the quality of Dionne's singing, I think you have give it the benefit of the doubt and see how it develops. I've never gotten the feeling that Amy is particularly interested or skilled in business per se, but she clearly has the creative side down and has great taste and attracts great people to work with her.
