Scarlett Johansson is excited about her "magical" new album.

The 'Match Point' star - who worked with singer songwriter Tom Waits on the LP 'Anywhere I Lay My Head' - revealed she enjoyed being "crazy" in the recording studio.

Scarlett told US TV show 'Access Hollywood': "My album comes out in May, which is exciting. It was a whole other magical experience for me. It was amazing. I worked with some incredible people and was just able to work, do something completely different.

"I recorded in a very remote area and just have free reign to be crazy crazy and that is so exciting."

Scarlett also revealed Waits was "very pleased" with her vocal talent.

She said: "Tom Waits' melodies are so beautiful and his voice is so distinct. I sent him some of my early, early recordings, and he said, 'Go ahead.' I've heard he's very pleased."

'Anywhere I Lay My Head' features 10 covers of Waits' songs and one original tune, 'Song for Jo'.
