Here it is plain and simple: Scarlett Johansson is not a singer. She's an incredible actress with loads of talent. No question about that. I've enjoyed every movie I've seen of hers. But Scarlett is not a singer. Yet there are plenty of musicians and singers who can't sing well. Mick Jagger, Lou Reed and Richard Butler can't sing. Yes, they have moxie, and they didn't let their unusual voices s...

Like staring at a horrible traffic accident, we are morbidly curious creatures. So, I think it's safe to assume that some moggers are curious about the upcoming new album of Tom Waits covers from Scarlett Johansson. There's been a few leaks on the interweb lately, so I rounded up what I could find. But don't be surprised if all of them get taken down. The album is called Anywhere I Lay My H...

A long long time ago, someone one MOG reported that Scarlett Johansson was holed up in a studio in the southern countryside, recording her debut solo album. What made it even more remarkable news is that Dave Sitek was at the control and Nick Z and Karen O were making noise. Allegedly, Johansson hand-chose the wonder twins to bring their magic to the project. Who wishes they were a huge hors...

Lots of people are jazzed to hear whether Scarlett Johansson can sing or not and wondering what her debut album will sound like. Of course, I have mad faith in Dave Sitek and Nick Z to make anything sound good coz as far as I have heard, these 2 can do no wrong! After reading an article on HARP Mag's website today, I have even more faith in their magical powers, at least Sitek's powers of per...

Dave Sitek sounds like a super fun person to work with in the studio. Scarlett Johansson wins points for convincing him to produce her debut album. The spent a full month at the Dockside Studio in Maurice Louisiana recording an album with that features music by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Celebration! Studio owner Steve Nails said it was super bass heavy, reminiscent of a movie theatre sound, an...

Scarlett Johansson is releasing her first studio album Anywhere I Lay My Head on May 20, 2008.

I must admit, after watching Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Sofia Coppola's Lost In Translation in the same week, I've grown quite fond of Scar-Jo. My feelings concerning her attempt to pay homage to the almighty Tom Waits by creating an album of cover songs are still somewhat ambivalent, however. I gotta give the girl kudos for trying to do something that nobody really expected her...

So is it just me that thinks the ScarJo album is bloody fantastic?It sounds to me like something that 4AD could have released. In fact, it turns out that 4AD big cheese Ivo Watts-Russell was the person who actually sequenced the album.I love the fact that it combines Tom Waits unforgettable melodies with shoegazey wooziness. I love the fact that Bowie turns up and does his best Bowie warbling.N...

Scarlett Johansson and Pete Yorn have become unlikely partners in a new project, an album titled Break Up, apparently inspired by the duets of Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. This isn't your father's "Bonnie and Clyde", though, judging by the...

Anywhere I Lay My Head , ScarJo's Dave Sitek-produced Tom Waits covers album, recently edged out Portishead and Bon Iver on NME's Top 50 Albums Of 2008 list. Now comes word that the newly wedded Spirit star would like to record more tunes. "I don't think I'd do covers," she tells MTV . "[But] if I had to, Leonard Cohen."

Video: Pete Yorn - "Relator" ft. Scarlett Johansson This song is a lot better than anything on her dreary album of Tom Waits covers. Perhaps she's been listening to She & Him (compare), but this kind of material actually suits...
