Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson Vinyl Giveaway
Scarlett Johansson movies range from comedy to drama, but she is also a successful recording artist. That is why acclaim singer and song writer Pete Yorn contacted Johansson with the idea to record a duets album in the spirit of Serge Gainsbourg’s 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot.
“I was having a strange week of insomnia and when I finally passed out, it came to me in a dream,” says Yorn. “I woke up and the whole thing was in my head, fully formed.” Johansson was intrigued by Yorn’s out-of-the-blue invitation. “It sounded like an interesting little adventure,” she explains. “The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets, I always thought of it as just a small project between friends. I’ve loved the album ever since I heard it completed. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time.”
On September 15, Atco Records, an imprint of Rhino Entertainment, presents the resulting work, Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson Break Up, a deeply emotive yet hook-filled song cycle about a tempestuous relationship. Yorn was as protective of Break Up as a father of his daughter, playing it for no one until last year. When those close to him finally heard Break Up, the overwhelming response convinced Yorn that it was simply too strong a work to remain under lock and key.
