Scarlett Covers It All


Popular actress and since the recent times a singer Scarlett Johansson had recorded a cover version of Jeff Buckley’s “Last Goodbye”. This song is going to be included as a soundtrack into her new movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”, which is about to be released in April this year. A song is available on Stereogum.com. Besides Johansson’s song, a soundtrack shall incorporate a lot more music written by The Cure, R.E.M., Talking Heads, My Morning Jacket, Wilco and The Replacements. “Last Goodbye” was recorded by Buckley in 1994 for the album “Grace”. Three years later he had drowned in the Mississippi river. The whole tragedy of his end made an impact on the rest of his art while reflecting all of it onto this song. 


Scarlett Johansson’s music debut began in May 2008 when she released the album with many cover versions of Tom Waits’ song “Anywhere I Lay My Head”. Soon Scarlett recorded the concert mini-album, were she covered The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry”. Actresses often become singers and vice versa, but in this case it would be very interesting if a girl like her will join some hard rock band or even something more powerful like Metallica. In the future Johansson is planning to write and produce her own songs.
