Overview
A clergy of Austrian monks have invited Amy Winehouse to spend some time with them at their monastery.
The Cistercian Monks of Stift Heiligenkreuz are sort-of fans of Amy. They like the music but don't agree with the lyrics.
"For 10 minutes I liked [Back to Black, Winehouse's 2006 album]," Brother Johannes Paul Chavanne explained to the Daily Telegraph. "But when I read the lyrics I thought it was sad. I would like to invite her here - I feel sympathetic to people like her. She could stay a week or two and discuss the big questions of life - faith might be an answer for her."
The monks feel that with their proper guidance, Amy can be rehabilitated.
The collaboration makes a lot of sense. The Monks recently released their own album of Gregorian chants. Amy and the Monks both record for the same label. Amy has sourced her musical influences from the past. Maybe the sound of her next album could be sourced from 875 years in the past.
