Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson — Break Up

When one goes through a breakup, one sometimes tries to suppress all memories of one's former partner in an effort to get over them.

Scarlett Johansson — Anywhere I Lay My Head

Johansson's musical debut is worth a listen for a few reasons. For one, this is an album of Tom Waits songs, so it's interesting to hear her and TV On The Radio guitarist David Sitek's takes on the iconic grumbler-singer-songwriter's often-brilliant songs.

Scarlett Johansson Covers Jeff Buckley

Scarlett Johansson has thus far only recorded one original song, and that trend continues with her recent cover of Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye."
