What Ever Happened to Babe Scarlett?

What Ever Happened to Babe Scarlett? Poor Scarlett Johansson. Maxim just put out their list of the 100 most beautiful women in the world, and ScarJo landed at a blush-inducing number two. Ouch. To help out the girl—whose career must suddenly be teetering on the brink of extinction—we’ll write about her. As part of AOL Music’s Sessions series, the future Mrs. Reynolds sings five songs from her new album Anywhere I Lay My Head, while we try and decide if she can sing or not. We’re still not sure, and it’s driving us absolutely insane. Either way, we’re sure she’s better than Marissa Miller.

May Music Releases Scarlett Johansson
Anywhere I Lay My Head (ATCO)

We know what you are thinking: Don Johnson, Heartbeat. But you are wrong, oh, so wrong. Scarlett Johansson’s first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, is one of the happiest surprises in years. On this inspired collection of Tom Waits covers, Johansson’s famously oak-smoked voice is a natural cousin of the Roches, John Cale, and Sinead O’Connor. David Bowie, who sings backup on two tracks—“Falling Down” and “Fannin Street”—adds splashes of cream to this perfect cup of hot, dark New Orleans coffee. —Alison Powell

Scarlett Waits For No Man Here's your first listen to the title track from Scarlett Johansson's new album of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head. We wonder what this would sound like if the woman singing it wasn't named Scarlett Johansson. Probably the same, but different. Review of the entire album in BlackBook's May Issue.
