A-list actress Scarlett Johansson has released the album Anywhere I Lay My Hat, a collection of Tom Waits songs. NME magazine reviews the album to hit "best of 2008" lists and finds it absolutely brilliant. The first Scarlett Johansson single is Falling Down and she´s pretty convincing with her deep voice.
Sarah Assbring is El Perro del Mar , and her album From the Valley to the Stars was released this week. Listen to Glory to the World on http://www.myspace.com/elperrodelmaris . The song is a weird, melancholic little tune, at times almost like a hymn sang by a child.
These songs were released some time ago, but still worth mentioning:
electronic indie, "Great DJ " by the Ting Tings http://www.myspace.com/thetingting
I found Lupe Fiasco ´s Superstar lame, but
"Go Baby " is pure hip-hop fun!
Beachy song and a huge hit, that really deserves to be no. 1 everywhere,
“American Boy” by Estelle feat. Kanye West http://www.myspace.com/estelleonline
