After releasing an album of depressing Tom Waits covers in ’08 and a Jeff Buckley cover on a soundtrack earlier this year, Scarlett Johansson continues her streak of swagger-jacking classic singer-songwriter with her new Pete Yorn duet album Break Up. There’s no covers on it, per se—Yorn wrote all the songs and recorded them with Scar Jo in two days—but the album was heavily inspired by the late ’60s French pop stylings of Serge Gainsbourg and actress/sexpot Brigitte Bardot. In the world of actresses-turned-singers, that’s probably about the best you can strive for (sorry, Jasmine Guy). Check out the first video “Relator,” then watch a classic Gainsbourg/Bardot duet below…
