Actors making the transition to recording artist are usually looked at with disdain, but it’s pretty hard to argue with David Bowie.

Bowie croons along with Scarlett Johansson on two tracks of her upcoming Tom Waits cover album, reports Ananova.com.

With big name support like that, the future looks bright for Johansson’s singing career. But will Waits himself be a fan?

“I sent him some of the early recordings,” Johansson noted, “and he said, ‘Go ahead.’ I’ve heard he’s very pleased.”

Meanwhile, Johansson’s day job is keeping her busy, with “The Other Boleyn Girl” opening next weekend.
