Scarlett Johansson's venture into the world of music has been met with mixed reviews. People are saying she can't sing, while others are praising her courage and depth. I must side with those reviewers whose thoughts are positive. I like Ms. Johansson's approach.
Taking the road less traveled, she soars here with a track that is a lot different than expected. But not many people will get it.
With her new album, there are no songs dedicated to bumping your booty against a muscled up beau. She isn't frolicking in her bikini at a beach in Mexico in her first music video either. Scarlett is no Z100 fixture. Instead, she has put together a set that is mature, profound, unusual, and unique. Tom Waits should be so proud.
Her first single blends an indescribable sound with her soothingly earthy voice. It's clever stuff. She definitely surprises. I just can't get enough.
Here's the video. Pay attention. You'll see; her music isn't so bad. It's innovative, provocative, sidestepping, and rebellious -- so, open up to it.
PS: She eerily, and perhaps inadvertently, invokes a little bit of Ozzy here too don't you think?
