Hollywood was recently courting Amy Winehouse to sing the theme song for the next James Bond movie. After several weeks of hearsay, its reported that the troubled singer passed up the opportunity, saying that shes not ready to return to recording music.
A commendable move, perhaps as Winehouse continues to exhibit her strong commitment to artistic integrity and you know that lesser, more ubiquitous talents such as Norah Jones or Justin Timberlake would have jumped on the opportunity. That said, were all waiting for Amys next musical move, wondering what shell sing about, if shell continue her path down retro-soul, or if shell ever rebound from her substance abuse.
And playing devils advocate, maybe returning to the studio will turn her attention to doing something more productive than making headlines for slugging various people at nightclubs, lighting up crack pipes and basically wasting her talents away.
