Hot Music Beat

Last month, Scarlett Johansson debuted her music video for her first single ‘Falling Down’. Earlier this month, she performed her song live. Let me tell you, signing her to a record deal was a big mistake. Luckily for us, we don’t have to be subjected to her going on tour any time soon. Her label said that her singing is purely a hobby and that she won’t be hitting the road in support of her new album. Apparently, she was just asked to record an album full of Tom Waits covers. In response to that, she recently said in an interview “I thought of all of my friends who were struggling musicians (who) would kill for this opportunity, so I couldn’t really pass it up.” I hope she sticks to acting in the future.

The album cover for Scarlett Johansson’s debut album ‘Anywhere I Lay My Head’ has been released and it’s quite obvious that someone got inspired by Snow White. The album which consists almost entirely of Tom Waits covers, with one original song called ‘Song for Jo’ which serves as the album’s centerpiece will hit stores on May 20m Tuesday. Two tracks – ‘Falling Down’ and ‘Fannin’ Street’ feature the guest vocal styling of David Bowie while members of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Celebration and Stars like Fleas play on the album which was produced by Dave Sitek. That’s a lot of star power in one album!
