Scarlett

I know I don't usually do album reviews but I couldn't let this one pass without saying something. Hollywood starlet Scarlett Johansson unleashed her debut album Anywhere I Lay My Head - a collection of mostly Tom Waits' covers this week.

And it's fantastic. Totally fantastic. As I have said previously, her voice is very Nico-like and she just blends into the dreamy, mellow songs rather than try to dominate them. The result is an astonishing, beguiling album.

Falling Down is a wonder, as is the title track and I Don't Wanna Grow Up. Oh, and did I mention a bloke called David Bowie does backing vocals on a couple of tracks? I recommend you buy it - you'll be pleasantly surprised.

But the most impressive thing is I've managed to write this without mentioning how incredibly gorgeous the girl herself is - makes me want to include pictures in a blog for the very first time...
