Scarlett Johansson’s on-again-off-again musical career has taken some rather unexpected turns over the years. The actress has released an album of Tom Waits covers, contributed to a Serge Gainsbourg tribute album, collaborated with the likes of Pete Yorn and Massive Attack, and, most recently, offered up her best take on New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle”. Now, Johansson’s looking to storm the pop world, forming a new supergroup called The Singles with Este Haim (yes, of that HAIM), Holly Miranda, Julia Haltigan, and Kendra Morris.
“The idea was to write super-pop dance music written and performed by girls,” Johansson explained of the new project. She counts Grimes, the Bangles, and the Go-Go’s as major influences, noting, “I wanted it to be like those bands: ultra-pop but also a little ironic, a little in on the joke.
"Candy" is such a BOP! Let me finally add ha to my favs list in regards to singers (she's already my fav actress). Finally getting a good singing attempt from her. Slay queen.
This is actually good... so are we getting a full album? Or are they just releasing singles
I would assume only singles for a while at least. Haim is busying working on their new album and SJo is about to go film Cap 3 and then she's in pre-production for a lot of other films for the next year or so. Plus, she just had a baby right?
This is really good.
