Scarlett Johansson’s New Single ‘Falling Down’
The first single from Scarlett Johansson’s new Tom Waits cover album Anywhere I Lay My Head has been released. It’s called “Falling Down.”
Here are my thoughts on it:
The singing really isn’t as good as it could be, but maybe that’s the point? It’s not like Tom Waits was a good singer, he was just distinctive. The background vocals and music is really pretty in that haunting way, though. Basically, I was unimpressed at the beginning of the song but was won over by the end. I’ve listened to it a bajillion times because of that. In a world of Paris Hilton and Heidi Montag cringeworthy pop albums, I say kudos to Scarlett for having the balls to try something different!
You can listen to “Falling Down” here.
But, if you want to hear how beautifully Scarlett can REALLY sing, I’d suggest checking out her version of “Summertime” done for a charity album called Unexpected Dreams–Songs from the Stars. You can listen to “Summertime” here.
