Amy Winehouse has reportedly recorded a duet with Cee Lo Green for her new album.

The Daily Star claims that the pair recorded the song in St Lucia, where the singer owns a house, and where Cee Lo was recording with producer Salaam Remi

The tabloid quotes an anonymous source as saying: "Amy has a house in St Lucia and decided to fly out. She and Cee Lo just clicked and he said he wouldn’t leave the island until the track was done."

The paper also claimed that Winehouse has completed work on the album, which will be her first since 2006's 'Back To Black'.

Cee Lo Green will be performing at the NME Awards Big Gig at Wembley Arena on February 25, where he is on the bill with Foo Fighters, Band Of Horses and No Age.

The Shockwaves NME Awards Tour 2011 takes place throughout February, while Shockwaves NME Awards Shows are also taking place in London throughout the month. See NME.COM/TICKETS for details.

Mark Ronson records bagpipe song with The View's Kyle Falconer

Mark Ronson and The View's Kyle Falconer have teamed up for a bagpipe-based song.

The Scottish singer/guitarist was enlisted by Ronson to collaborate on 'The Bike Song', which was released on Ronson's 'Record Collection' album earlier this year - watch the music video for it on the right.

Now Falconer has told NME that the pair worked on further material together.

"We recorded a couple of tracks," he confirmed. "There is one with bagpipes on it. He phoned me and was like, 'I don't want to sound racist but I have this song with bagpipes, do you want to write some lyrics and a melody around it?'."

The singer/guitarist said that there were no plans to release the song, but added: "Maybe it will be a one-off Christmas song."

Following his collaboration work Falconer has returned to work with his main band, with The View set to tour the UK this month. Their new album will be released in early 2011.
