Break Up (album)
Break Up is a collaborative album between Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johansson. The first single, "Relator" was released as a digital download on 25 May 2009. The full album was released by Atco/Rhino on 15 September 2009. Pete's brother Rick Yorn is Scarlett's manager. The album was recorded in 2006, thus preceding several albums that Yorn and Johansson have released as solo artists. Johansson completed her vocals for the project in two afternoon sessions. Yorn said that the concept for the album was realized in a dream he had. The project was inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's 1967 and 1968 albums with Brigitte Bardot. Johansson spoke about the project at the time of the "Relator" single release; "The idea of two people vocalizing their relationship through duets...I always thought of it as just a small project between friends. It perfectly captured where I was in my life at the time". During 2009, Yorn stated that he would like to do some live shows with Johansson to promote the album. By September 10 that year, Johansson and Yorn performed "Relator" on the French television show Le Grand Journal. It was Johansson's first live performance on television. The duo were then interviewed by KCRW on October 7; they talked about past, present and future projects, and performed the single "Relator" along with "Blackie's Dead", "Search Your Heart", "Shampoo" and a cover of The Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing". They also stated that they would like to tour, but because the short time the songs give them to perform (around 29 minutes), they would like to turn the concert into a dinner if there's the demand for them to tour. The album was rated a 57/100 among professional music critics on Metacritic, indicating mixed or average reviews. All songs written and composed by Pete Yorn, except where noted. No. Title Length 1.

We've been following Scarlett Johansson's music career because she covered Jeff Buckley, Tom Waits (with Dave Sitek), and because other reasons. Her latest endeavor is the Break Up LP, a set of Serge Gainsbourg/Brigitte Bardot-inspired duets with Pete Yorn, which so far has turned up the surprisingly effervescent and playful ditty "Relator."
