New "Music" From Scarlett Johansson!

Filed under: Music Minute > Scarlett Johansson

Recorded in 2006, before Scarlett Johnansson's tragic Anywhere I Lay My Head, ScarJo recoded a duets album with Pete Yorn called Break Up.

According to Yorn, "I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream. I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed." Intrigued, ScarJo agreed to the project which Yorn had been fiercely protective of until now.

Break Up will be released in June, but here's one of the tracks off of it called Relator.

No amount of reverb can disguise ScarJo's headache-inducing vocals.

We love her, BUT…….

Just give it up girl, or sing in a different style!

If you're feeling like punishing yourself today, have a listen below!

She's not so bad. And the song does have some artistic merit to it.

I don't think it's THAT bad, Perez! She just likes that old-style that Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Zooey Deschanel are bringing back.

Tame says – reply to this

119

Wow I wasn't expecting her to sound like that! I actually thought it was good! She has a unique voice that could work (given the right songs)
lastonestanding says – reply to this

120

Cool song, Perez! Her vocals are only modestly effected and sound like an old time Delta blues singer (albeit about 87) after six packs of smokes and a bottle of Jack! So when is your album due????
marathongirl1828 says – reply to this

121

It's really not all that bad. It's a cool catchy song and her voice seems to fit it well…
TheJenny says – reply to this

122

oooh, I kinda like it
COCACOLA says – reply to this

123

The horror…All the yooung Hollywood actresses want it to be singers…We are going directly to live in a mediocre world, with mediocre icons and mediocre press……Nobody can save us anymore!!!!

My condolences to Scarlett's husband, that seems to be sane.

124

OH M Y G O D !! just give it up!
stephiep says – reply to this

125

I think it's pretty fuckin good. I normally agree with you… just not this time. GO SCAR-JO!
ballerinatiffany says – reply to this

Melissa0703 says – reply to this

127

I don't mind it at all. It's actually pretty catchy.
footefetish says – reply to this

128

Mario you idiot this is actually good. Catchy fun and her voice is fun and fresh. You have no clue… But then again you Lurve glambert…No taste lol
ganza says – reply to this

129

She sounds really good and really interesting. Once again Perez, you have bad taste in music and seem to love the sort of generic pop crap the record companies ruined the industry with.
footballisus says – reply to this

130

shit I like it alot,she"s kinda got a style like that gal that simgs the song you give me fever shes got a really pretty voice,you are way to harsh perez.
tubby says – reply to this

131

Her voice is fine; she has a very unique quality like singers of old, like Nico and progressive singers who knew how to sing (and not be completely over-produced like so many of today's singers). The song is good, the singing is good, and you were just primed to hate it from the start so there was no way you'd give it a fair shake. Have you heard her sing "Summertime"? She has a great voice, you should quit being so prejudiced from the start and ive her a chance.

132

I kinda LOVE it!
mandybear80 says – reply to this

133

sorry y'all. i liked it. such a bunch of haters on here. she is gorgeous, talented, and sexy. and you probably aren't… heard? heard! her voice is sexy and fun. be nice, for once. people like nice.
mandybear80 says – reply to this

134

Re: OLD PERVERT – why are you dead-set on being creepy.
mandybear80 says – reply to this

135

i did this once, but it didn't save. anyway, that was pretty good–sexy and low and very cool. perez, quit being such a hater! i used to come to this site bc you were so chill, but you are such a hater now. and what the hell is your deal with jennifer aniston?? her husband publically left her for a notorious home wrecker, and you are making fun of her. i mean, she is a nice girl. what the hell is your deal? we deserve an explanation. is angelina just more "hot" and gay friendly or something?
morgandoesit says – reply to this

136

You're kidding, right? Her voice is fantastic. Really, really fantastic.
Dixie77 says – reply to this

137

Much improved over her other stuff! If she'd done more singing in the same style as the beginning of the song, it would have better though. The beginning was strong…but it faded somewhat as it went on.
Dixie77 says – reply to this

138

Ok now I can't stop listening to it…I think I was too harsh the first time. I like it!

dauphine says – reply to this

144

It's much better than the funeral march she called her last album. Plus, I love Pete Yorn.
thinderella says – reply to this

145

Who are you to say how people should sing? If you don't like it then don't listen. Simple as that. Don't start hating again. I think she's bringing something different.
Annuck says – reply to this

146

Eew Scarlett give this up!

Sharo_8760 says – reply to this

151

I think although her voice isn't that good it actually fits this song. I like this one!
Bella753 says – reply to this

152

I like it. it suites her!!!
It seems like shes enjoying it. I wouldnt take it too serioulsy of a career if i were here. i mean it isnt fantastic. but its good enough for an actress who should stay an actress with a little side hobby.

She is one of the most sexiest and talented white woman out there.

wtf, is she drunk?
mvondrau says – reply to this

155

Didn't she marry Alanis Morrisette's ex? OMG! She is shockingly bad. Alanis must be pissing herself laughing after listening to this shite! I wouldn't even want to file share this, she sounds like she's trying to "fake" the funky singing style but it's just wrong, wrong, awfully wrong!!!
actually real voice says – reply to this

This is one of the worst things I have tried to listed to !!!
*PiNkS* says – reply to this

OK its not HORRIBLE!!! I like it, her voice is different.
nyuredhead says – reply to this

158

Sounds like she wants to be Feist, except for the fact that Feist can, you know, actually sing.
Teradactyl says – reply to this

159

HEY! i actually really like this i might just have to get the album this is WAY better than that other shit she was trying to do she kind of sounds like leighton!! who i love

Why US is the only country in the world where actors can only be actors, and singers only singers? In most Latin American countries, this is totally normal, so as in several Asian countries, like Japan and S. Korea.
jay_jay says – reply to this

161

Is a weird song, but I like it. Scarlett is really different to the trashy music that's so in these days. I can't believe some terrible singer like Lady GaGa is so popular, and not someone with a real voice like Scarlett.

wow, im totally going to have to disagree with you perez and agree with everybody else on here, her voice is amazing, its different but its good.
missruthless says – reply to this

168

dont try to sound like amy winehouse please.
lauralala says – reply to this

169

I don't always agree with your music critiques, Perez, but I will agree on this one… Heavy effects aside, she is NOT a singer. If I was Alanis, I'd be PSML right about now

I actually liked it!
JessHolmes says – reply to this

173

Are you hearing what I'm hearing? Because I LOVE it!! I think she sings really well, I think she has a unique vocal sound. The only criticism I have is that it sounds, at times, slightly muffled but that's because of the studio mix.
rachelalana1 says – reply to this

174

i don't think it's a bad song and her voice for that style of music isn't so bad. It's all about what style people like. Just because it's not pop doesn't mean that it's not good music
ac-go-jb says – reply to this

175

Not bad calm down perez.
ninagibson says – reply to this

176

i like her voice!
lv&Hoz says – reply to this

177

she's not special enough to be famous - she's average
Geezy88 says – reply to this

178

Wow. I really, really like it. It's unique and interesting. It seems to nod to the song styles of past decades…maybe I don't know what I'm talking about but whatever the case I totally dig it.
Geezy88 says – reply to this

179

p.s. I think that perez is just sore that ryan reynolds is off the market now. can't blame him though it's made me like scarlett johansson a little less too

Her voice is actually pretty good. It's different.
WTF is wrong with you, Perez?
