Scarlett has assembled a Hollywood A-list calibre group of guests for her debut album, a collection of Tom Waits covers. And getting David Bowie to drop some guest 'oohs' and 'aahs' and to praise your performances as "twice cool" ain't too shabby either. I mean, one cool is just never enough.

We'll have to wait and see how the rest of the music world responds to an album full of Scarlet Jo's throaty crooning. There are already many upturned eyebrows and the album hasn't even been released yet.

David Bowie has spoken about his work on Scarlett Johansson’s debut album, a collection of covers of Tom Waits songs.

The rock legend added backing vocals to two tracks on 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' - 'Falling Down' and 'Fannin' Street'.

Posting on his official site BowieNet, the singer said: “The songs are great, really good Tom Waits stuff, and Scarlett's performances are mystical and twice cool. She creates a mood that could have been summoned by someone like Margery Latimer or Jeanette Winterson.”
