Amy Winehouse’s new album is inspired by ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
The troubled singer has become obsessed with the 1939 musical film, and is
using it as the basis for her upcoming LP - the follow up to Grammy
award-winning second album ‘Back to Black’.
The new record will reportedly feature samples from the original songs and
film score, and will draw heavily on its storyline.
A friend told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “She loves the surreal look,
sound and score. One of her new songs heavily samples the theme tune and the
soundtrack and score will be a theme running throughout the record.
“It’s really interesting, if a little bizarre, but I suppose that’s what you
would expect from her at the moment.”
‘The Wizard of Oz’ follows the adventures of a young girl called Dorothy who
is swept away to a mysterious foreign land in a tornado. She embarks upon a
quest to find the Wizard of Oz in her attempt to get home, accompanied by
her dog and characters she meets along the way including a lion, a scarecrow
and a tin man.
Amy, 24, is believed to be working tirelessly to complete her third album,
because she wants it ready by the time her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is
released from jail.
Blake is currently serving a 27-month sentence for grievous bodily harm and
attempting to pervert the course of justice, but could be released by
December 30.
