Scarlett Johansson : Anywhere I Lay My Head (punk, genre, album)

Piss Me Off · 06-06-2008, 03:28 AM

Copy and paste job from the Tom Waits thread.

Well i've just finished listening to her album for the first time, sorry hipsters but it ain't all that bad.
Her voice isn't something i've warmed to, sadly. She's reflecting Waits in that its a smoky, low voice but her performances are far less passionate sadly. Think Cat Power with less range.
Her backing music for the most part is lovely though. Sparse keyboards in the background are the main affair, and for the most part work well. Falling Down and the title track are my particular favourites, the latter especially has its own flavour to it and is moody yet beautiful. The only track i really took a dislike to was I Don't Wanna Grow Up, nowhere near as fun as past versions.
So yeah, i'm not writing her off yet.

Scarlett was just born in the wrong era. Sorry, but it didn't do anything for me even though I know it will get popular because teenage girls will buy anything the radio tells them to.
