According to Pitchfork, who passed along the news from those graph-lovers at USA TODAY, more Scarlett Johansson music is on the way. This time around, the starlet teamed up with Pete Yorn to record a batch of duets inspired by yet another music icon: Serge Gainsbourg.
Yorn, who wrote eight new originals with the 60s duets between Gainsbourg and his one-time movie star girlfriend Brigitte Bardot in mind, brought in Johansson to add complimentary vocal work. The end result being a song cycle tracing the tumultuous arc of a failed relationship. What’s more, the remaining ninth track, “I Am The Cosmos”, was penned by Big Star founder Chris Bell. The aptly-titled Break Up lands in September via Atco/Rhino. If you can’t write to hear what t you can stream lead single “Relator” here.
