About Pete Yorn

About Scarlett Johansson

Editorial Reviews

Pete Yorn recorded Break Up in 2006 on the heels of one, but it sat on the shelf until 2009, appearing just a matter of months after Back & Fourth, and a year after his duet partner, Scarlett Johannson, cast as Brigitte Bardot to Yorn's Serge Gainsbourg, made an awkwardly arty splash with a Tom Waits' cover album, but the album that really casts a shadow over this is Vol. 1, the 2008 record by She & Him, the teaming of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel. Yorn and Johannson cut their album long before She & Him, but surfacing in its wake, they can't help but seem a bit like the polished, polite answer to the twee, precious charms of Zooey and M. Ward. Break Up does trump Vol. 1 conceptually, chronicling the dissolution of a romance as a series of duets, and Scarlett is a more-than-worthy foil to Yorn. If anything, her hushed, husky voice -- showcased better here than on her own debut -- is a greater presence than Yorn's melancholy introspection. In this tasteful context, it's easy to hear why he pines after her. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

November 15, 2009: Like all CD's some songs are better then others... a few are quite "catchy".

If you love Pete Yorn you should have this in your collection.

I Also Recommend: Jack Johnson En Concert, Draw the Line [Deluxe Edition], Back & Fourth, Big Whiskey & The GrooGrux King, Battle Studies.

SURPRISINGLY AND HAPPILY AMAZEDby Zha

November 12, 2009: Actors turned singers, I can't name any that I like off the top of my head. However, KUDOS TO MS. SCARLETTE JOHANSON! Yeah sure there's quite a bit of production on her voice...but the soul of her voice still shines through. When the first song rolls you can't quite imagine that her voice would sound like that. Funky, different, SOULFUL! Put that with the artistry of Mr. Yorn and the combindation SOARS!! This CD is on heavy rotation...the songs are infectious, groovy...a melodic sweetness for your ears. PICK IT UP!
