5 Reasons Why Scarlett Johansson’s Album Might Not Suck
Scarlett Johansson is widely known for her roles Lost In Translation and Match Point. After months of rumors about her upcoming artist album, Rhino has announced that it will release Johansson’s Anywhere I Lay My Head on May 20. The history of actors releasing albums is mostly dismal (yes, I’m looking you, William Shatner!), but there are five good reasons why Johansson’s full-length—which is billed as containing “distinctive vocal interpretations of ten songs by legendary singer-songwriter Tom Waits”—might not suck at all.1. The album was recorded at Dockside Studio in Louisiana's Canjun country, so it’s gotta be spicy
2. The lone original track, “Song For Jo” (hmm, as in Johansson?), was co-written by TV on the Radio’s David Andrew Sitek, who produced and played on the album.
3. David Bowie lends backing vocals on two tracks, "Falling Down" and "Fannin’ Street." How cool is that?
4. Other guests include Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and multi-instrumentalist Sean Antanaitis from Celebration
5. Anywhere I Lay My Head will be released on vinyl
We’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you about ScarJo singing The Pretenders’ “Brass in Pocket” in that famous karaoke scene in Lost in Translation.
