Scarlett Johansson

Since I know there is probably some love for Scarlett around here.. has anyone heard of her album?

It's coming May 20th and 10/11 songs on the cd are Tom Waits' covers. He actually have Johansson permission to record the songs. David Bowie also does guest vocals on two tracks.

I really dig it, as I downloaded a leak of it today. A lot of people have been bashing it but it's just straight out cool. I am a HUGE fan of Tom Waits and it's really got a post-rock sound to the entire record and Johansson actually has a Sinead O'Connor/Karen O sound to her voice.

too fucking pretentious for my taste.

It's not terrible, but it's not great by any means. She should stick to acting and being one of the hottest chicks on the planet.

Reminds me of Nico with the Velvet Underground but not quite so over the top. It's much better than I expect from yet another movie star who feels the need to record an album.

Read about this in the Metro...she blasted Paris and Lohan for their albums.

And fuck...she is soo soo soo hot.

newbreedbrian - 5-11-2008 at 08:14 PM

the fact that she loves tom waits makes her even hotter too. that being said, i think covering his songs is a tough task for anyone
