David Bowie thinks Scarlett Johansson's voice is "mystical".
The legendary singer provides backing vocals on two tracks for Scarlett's
upcoming album of Tom Waits covers, 'Anywhere I Lay My Head', and says the
actress stunned him with her talent.
In a posting on his official website, he wrote: "The songs are great, really
good Tom Waits stuff, and Scarlett's performances are mystical and cool.
"She creates a mood that could have been summoned by someone like the
novelists Margery Latimer or Jeanette Winterson."
David also insists his contribution to the record isn't as big as the hype.
He added: "I've seen the press on the album and I suppose the record company
wanted to spin my involvement a little more than it actually warrants.
"All I really contribute are these oo's and ah's on a couple of tracks.
David Sitek, the producer, originally asked me to do three songs, but for
one of them, 'I Don't Wanna Grow Up', I didn't feel I could contribute much
to it, so I left it alone."
