Scarlett Johansson – Anywhere I Lay My Head (2008)

Posted on 16.05.2008 at 06:09 in Albums by Chinballs

Hey, everybody, my name’s Mike, but I go by the handle of Chinballs (it’s a South Park reference). I live in beautiful Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was one of the high finishers in the music contest RLSLOG ran last week. I hope to bring you guys some of the best musical posts and keep a high standard in what you see my name attached to here.

This is the new Scarlett Johansson album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. The album consists of 10 Tom Waits covers and 1 original song, and has created quite a buzz, not only because of the performer, with Scarlett arguably being the most beautiful woman in Hollywood but because of the content, as Tom Waits songs are pretty revered among some crowds. The project has interested me, and I’m actually going to listen to this almost as soon as I post it.

You’ve heard what Scarlett has to say about covering Tom Waits, you’ve read what Bowie has to say about her covering Tom Waits, shit you’ve even seen what Tom Waits has to say about ScarJo covering Tom Waits. NOW IT’S TIME TO HEAR HER COVER TOM WAITS.

The record’s called Anywhere I Lay My Head, and the first cover to convert its way into internet friendly streamability is the title track. As Sitek told us on a snowy night a few months back, he was going for a “cough syrup/Tinkerbell” vibe throughout. That night we complained that Sitek’s dense production tended to bury her vocal — drowning Tinker Bell in the cough syrup, to fuck with the metaphor. We walked out thinking it was a swell sounding Sitek album, and Scarlett was guesting. This is just the first helping, but see how the syrup suits you.

    OK, Like a few already I thought, “WTF? Surely it can’t be ‘that’ bad”

    Hmmm… when the first track started and it sounded like someone let loose with the church organ I wasn’t so sure… wait a little and Lisa Simpson comes in blowing the horn and thankfully the 150 seconds are soon gone and we hit track 2 which does indeed have Sinead O’Connor overtones but I was thinking it sounded more like a 40yr old Scarlett singing, whilst trying to kick her 60 a day habit… Perhaps it’s me but the vocals sound more like backing vocals, that damn wah wah effect drowns everything… it might sound good if I could hear her clearly…
    I couldn’t make the whole album in one sitting, some sounded better than others but if I’m honest I’ll say only 4 of the 11 tracks might see their way onto my ipod… I suffer from insomnia but this wouldn’t cure it, it would only make wind me up so that I’d end up throwing things at the speakers to get it to shut up!

    Mr Omneo gives it 2 out of 10

    Its a pretty solid album, actually.

    Bunch of idiots…

    If it weren’t Scarlett Johansson, no one would be bagging on it.
