When I heard that Scarlett Johansson was releasing a CD my initial reaction was literally to go: "Oh God." We have seen countless actors and actresses try to make it big by turning their acting careers to music which never really seems to work and ends up being just a publicity stunt to gain a bigger following after blowing a few million dollars just to show their versatility. Some of these actresses that had some jaunting attempts at music include Brittany Murphy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah, etc. This however is the worst example I have seen so far. Soon upon playing the songs on this CD I found that Scarlett has discovered an entirely new vocal style altogether which doesn't involve singing at all! Its a mild mumbling to mellow music that might have once been classified as "folk". Although the official genre listed in my iTues window is "other", that doesn't quite come close. Some will be distracted by these are Tom Waits covers, which may perhaps attract the most devoted of fans, however be forewarned: this is a step in the wrong direction for a Waits fan as far as I'm concerned. Although she is the queen of some lesser known indie movies, and some better known such as Lost in Translation and Girl with the Pearl Earring, there is a serious gap in talent. This album was not worth the money, and most certainly not worth repeated listening.
