First cover for Scarlett's upcoming album "Anywhere I Lay My Head".

Hollywood A-List actress Scarlett Johansson's debut album tracklisting has been unveiled.

Her debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head is a Tom Waits covers album, featuring ten of his tracks.

The album, surprisingly, also includes a song penned by Johansson too. The original track is called 'Song For Jo'.

The album features contributions from several artists, including David Bowie, who contributes vocals to two tracks; 'Fallin' Down' and Fannin Street', Yeah Yeah Yeah's Nick Zinner and TV On The Radio's Dave Sitek.

The full tracklisting for Anywhere I Lay My Head Is is:

‘Fawn’
‘Town With No Cheer’
‘Falling Down’
‘Anywhere I Lay My Head’
‘Fannin' Street’
‘Song for Jo’
‘Green Grass’
‘I Wish I Was in New Orleans’
‘I Don't Want to Grow Up’
‘No One Knows I'm Gone’
‘Who Are You?’

Idk but honestly, I don't think it's a good idea for actresses to turn into singers/vice versa.

Mariah Carey in Glitter. Bad.
Jennifer Lopez in Gigli. Bad.
Kelly Clarkson in From Justin to Kelly. Bad.
Britney Spears in Crossroads. Bad.
Jennifer Love Hewitt. OK. But no recognition for singing.

But whatever, good luck to her.

You forgot to add Lindsay Lohan to the list -__-

I don't think this is a good move, unless she is somehow AMAZING.

Mandy Moore is a good example of a successful actress/singer though. They say her Dedication movie was pretty good.

Not too sure about Scarlett about being a singer... I don't know what she's thinking. Her past few films have bombed at the box office... Is she that desperate for money or something? Now is certainly not a good time to promote herself as a singer when she needs to focus on her movie career at the moment. I mean, there's a reason why they pushed "Other Boleyn" into off-Oscar season.

I didn't "forget", I just didn't want to.

I'm not adding EVERY actresses that's been singer-turned-actor (vice versa). I was only listing some.

Yeah, she was really good in A Walk To Remember, which made her really popular (as an actress.)

That was in the old days though, when it was cool to see 'singers' (i.e A Walk To Remember) and 'wrestlers' (i.e The Scorpion King) in movies.

(not counting Disney singers/actresses like Hilary Duff, Vanessa Hudgens, etc)

Usually this is a rather bad move because most people can't really pull off two careers in different industries.

And its a Tom Waits tribute album of all things. I like Tom Waits, but I don't know about this. His style is really sort of out there, and I think hard to accomplish by anyone other than himself. It's a pretty risky move for a new singer in general, so that fact that its an actress/singer taking this on...

*is very very very very wary*

if the guys are doing, the girls should try too. there's a handful that will fail but a few will hopefully succeed.

Well if this fails at least she has a really good movie career.
And I kind of heard her sing in the 'Yes We Can' Obama video and it wasn't too bad.
