HOLLYWOOD
- Actress-turned-singer
Scarlett Johansson
's debut album has received a series of scathing reviews from music critics, who have branded the star's recordings "fussy and forgettable."
The
Lost in Translation
star released her LP
Anywhere I Lay My Head
, a collection of
Tom Waits
covers, this week.
But several reviews of the 40-minute-long disc have been lukewarm, with commentators reserving their harshest criticism for
Johansson
's vocal abilities.
Rolling Stone
magazine, which gave
Johansson
a mediocre 2.5 stars out of 5, complains, "
Johansson
's voice is unremarkable and her pitch sometimes unsteady; she's a faintly goth
Marilyn Manson
lost in a sonic fog."
Entertainment Weekly
was also less than complimentary, giving the project an average "C" grade and remarking that her "expressionless voice" was concealed "deeply in the druggy ambiance."
The album, released on Rhino Records, contains 10
Waits
covers with the exception of one original composition co-written by 23-year-old
Johansson
and TV On The Radio guitarist/keyboardist Andrew Sitek. Rocker
David Bowie
contributes backing vocals on two of the tracks.
