The age of the modern chanteuse continues with every bugger and their aunt getting in on the act. First up none other than Scarlett Johansson (yep, the one from the films) releasing her debut album ‘Anywhere I Lay My Head’ on Atco Records. It’s a collection of Tom Waits covers and one original track and features collaborations with members of TV On The Radio and Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name but two. Have I piqued your curiosity yet? Good, because there is a listening party link below.

Elsewhere Beth Rowley (who we have found favourable around these parts before now) has contributed two songs to the soundtrack of the new Kiera Knightley & Sienna Miller film ‘Edge Of Love’. We’ve got a little video stream below so you can have a gander at the lady in action.
