Break Up by Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson

Between Yorn’s ingratiating tunes, Johansson’s harmonies and the lush, inventive production, Break Up ultimately succeeds in its ambitious goal of capturing the spirit--if not the sound--of the late-’60s musical partnership between Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. Break Up is actually a pleasant enough detour as a light-hearted, retro-pop affair.
