Rumor has it that Amy Winehouse is going to form a band with Raphael Saadiq and ?uestlove. I don't particularly object to the teamup if Winehouse is, in fact, healthy enough to perform. It's got me wondering, though. Wasn't she recording during her time in St. Lucia? What ever happened to that music? And what does it mean for the state of her voice? There were just so many things she could do with that instrument. I would, for example, definitely buy a Motown covers album by her:
But if the St. Lucia music is unreleaseable, it seems like it would be good to know why. Was it because she was out of her mind and incoherent? Was it because her voice is just totally shot? The former problem is something that can be remediated. The latter would be an enormous loss.
