Hollywood star Scarlet Johansson is continuing her foray into the music world by releasing a second album - which was recorded two years before her 2008 musical debut.

Last year the Lost in Translation actress released an album of Tom Waits covers, Anywhere I Lay My Head.

Her latest offering - a collection of duets with singer/songwriter Pete Yorn entitled Break Up - was actually recorded in 2006, but has taken three years to be released.

USA Today reports that the album was inspired by Serge Gainsbourg's 1960s recordings with Brigitte Bardot and will hit shops this September.
