Listening Party: Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson - Break Up

The melodic relationship arc of singer/songwriter Pete Yorn and actress Scarlett Johansson: They get together, sing a few love songs and break up.

Comprised of eight songs written and arranged by Yorn and one cover, BREAK UP embarks on a musical journey that covers all bases from lovers lost in gravelly exit song "Someday" to lovers scorned in the questioning "Search Your Heart." Johansson's raspy voice lends a retro feel to the poppy opening track "Relator" playfully complementing Yorn's choruses and setting the tone for the rest of the album's side-by-side vocals.

Standout tracks include banjo-driven "Wear And Tear" reminiscent of Pete's early solo efforts, the big band-esque "I Don't Know What To Do" and a shimmering interpretation of the art-rock classic "I Am The Cosmos" by the late Chris Bell, co-founder of quintessential cult band Big Star.
