Scarlett Johansson to release debut album

Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson will release her debut album 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' this summer.
The 23-year-old star of 'Match Point' and 'Lost in Translation' spent five weeks recording the album, which features 10 covers of Tom Waits songs and one original track.
Johansson recorded the album at Dockside Studios in Louisiana with producer David Sitek.
The album also features collaborations with Yeah Yeah Yeahs guitarist Nick Zimmer.
A US release date has been pencilled in for 20 May, while an Irish release date has yet to be confirmed.
This is not Johansson's first foray into music. The star has previously appeared in Justin Timberlake's video for 'What Goes Around', while last year she sang onstage with The Jesus and Mary Chain at the Coachella Festival in the US.
