I really don’t take pleasure in ripping on people, but I feel a journalistic responsibility to play it straight. And I don’t even know where to start with this mess. Apparently someone told Scarlett Johansson that she both could and should record an album of Tom Waits covers. The above is the music video for one of those songs. As is common practice for new releases, members of the test audience were approached for publicity comments but of the two left alive, one could only shiver, while the other’s quotes were inaudible over the sound of her unborn fetus weeping.
A couple of her tracks feature guest vocals by David Bowie, and as well as the Tom Waits covers, there is also an original track called “A Song for Jo”. The album is released on May 20th and if you hate yourself and your life, then guys, it is an absolute must-buy.
