Scarlett Johansson takes on Tom Waits--YEAH! (via David Bowie)

I want this now!

I fell in love with Scarlett in Lost in Translation -- who didn't? That relatable, vulnerable, raspy and amazing Scarlett sounds exactly like you would imagine, though a little less sweet-sounding than her character's Brass in Pocket from the movie. Her voice is amazing, and for people who also love Tom Waits as much as I do, I think this will be a treat.

Scarlett Jo's debut album. Not conventionally the most beautiful voice, though it's unique and reminiscent of Nico from the Velvet Underground. The album features ten covers of legendary singer-songwriter Tom Waits as well as an original track, "Song For Jo," which she co-wrote with David Andrew Sitek (TV on the Radio),
David Bowie adds backing vocals on two tracks, "Falling Down" and "Fannin Street," and the disc also features the talents of Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zinner and multi-instrumentalist Sean Antanaitis from Celebration, among others.

Scarlett Johansson takes on Tom Waits - i can't wait to listen to it.

Definitely an interesting combo, starlet Scarlett covers weird Waits, produced by TV on the Radio. Wait's odd circus songs, smothered in syrupy production, enveloping Johansson's vocals. Very interesting indeed.
