I would normally discount this story, with all the noise Ronson has been making, but I know that CBn checks their sources thoroughly.

Winehouse now has plans to release her Bond track around the same time the official duet comes out. She told Britain’s New! magazine: ‘I want to prove they have made a big mistake. I don’t think they could have waited a bit. If they want a worldwide hit, I have them all up here.’

Referring to the selection of Black and Keys for the Quantum of Solace theme, she said: ‘I guess they are going for clean-cut and boring. When I do release mine—and I am tempted to do it on the same day—this would be the bigger hit. If they change their minds, I am waiting!’

I haven’t believed all the media noise, but I am a fan of Winehouse and would have been happy if she’d been able to get her act together and do the QoS song. I think she’s an extraordinary talent. So I’ll be interested in hearing this demo track.
