The amazing and talented singing nun, Sister Cristina, is a huge fan of the Madonna…and the other Madonna.

For her first album, due to release on November 11, the 26-year-old nun has included a cover of “Like A Virgin,” Madonna’s racy 1984 hit.

“If you read the lyrics without being influenced by what has gone before, you discover that it is a song about the capacity of love to make people new again To release them from their past. And this is how I wanted to interpret it. That’s why we’ve transformed it from the pop-dance track it was into a romantic ballad a bit in the style of Amos Lee.”

Watch the stunning visuals:

Sister Cristina exploded onto the public stage in March with her performance of Alicia Keys’ “No One” on “The Voice of Italy.” She went on to do covers of “Hero,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and more — ultimately winning the competition and scoring a record deal with Universal.
