Singer said to be sampling songs from 1939 musical
Amy Winehouse’s new album is said to have been heavily influenced by classic movie The Wizard Of Oz.
The singer, who is in the studio working on the follow-up to Back To Black, is said to be such a fan of the 1939 Judy Garland musical that she’s decided to sample some of the score, including Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
‘She loves the surreal look, sound and score,’ a source tells The Sun. ‘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.
‘When Amy was writing Back To Black she was surrounding herself with 1960s soul music and that was obvious in the record. This time it will be sounds from The Wizard Of Oz.’
Amy, 24, was booed at the weekend when she gave erratic performances at the Virgin Mobile V Festival in Weston Park, Staffordshire, and Hylands Park, Essex.
