Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson - Relator



I've always liked Scarlett Johansson as an actress and when she released Anywhere I Lay My Head last year I was a little put off by the album. Little did I know that the album was a tribute to the amazing Tom Waits (who I had never heard of at the time). Now that I am a Tom Waits fan, I can appreciate her album and have come to love it. On her new album she is working with Pete Yorn, who I have unfortunately never heard of before. Their first single from their ablum "The Break Up," which was actally recorded in 2006 before her tribute album, is Relator. The track is amazing and is sure to appeal to a greater audience than her first album. It reminds me a little of She & Him, which includes my favorite singer Zooey Deschanel. It's upbeat and it's old school and I think everyone should check it out. You can listen to the full song on their ablum's offical website. I absolutely cannot wait to hear the rest of their album. I think it's going to be great.
