TUESDAY TUNES: SCARLETT DOES WAITS
05.27.08

Hollywood has seen its fair share of crossover artists - actors who make the move to the music scene. Some have been fairly successful, and others better off forgotten. So, which will it be for the (usually) talented and always gorgeous Scarlett Johansson?

Ten of the eleven tracks are covers of songs written by Tom Waits, and the remaining song is an original, written by Johansson and her producer David Andrew Sitek of the band TV on the Radio.

Our favorite explanation of the outcome? … Sitek told Scarlett that he thought the album should sound like “Tinkerbell on cough syrup…”.

Riiiiight. Well, if Sitek was referencing Johansson’s ethereal low register, he certainly got what he asked for. So far reviews have been mixed Check out a few of the tracks on Scarlett’s MySpace and decide for yourself.

Because we’re not just about denim. Because travel and culture are necessities, not luxuries. Because style is an evolution. Because art and inspiration are around every corner. Because we love to indulge, and we're nice enough to share. Welcome to our world.
