Looks like Scarlett Johansson will have to revert to her day job!

The actress-turned-singer’s debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, has been slammed by the critics, who’ve labelled the star’s recordings as “fussy and forgettable.”

Johansson’s 40-minute-long CD is a collection of Tom Waits covers, and was released in stores this week. The first single released from the album, Falling Down, seems to have predicted what was to come for the Boleyn Girl actress, with her career in the music industry looking unsteady after so many lukewarm reviews.

However, her boring covers weren’t the only thing to come under the harsh critique, with Johansson’s vocal abilities coping the worst of the criticism.

Rolling Stone gave the 23-year-old a measly 2.5 stars out of 5, complaining that her voice is “unremarkable and [the] pitch sometimes unsteady.”

Added the Stone: “[Johansson's] a faintly goth Marilyn Manson lost in a sonic fog.”

She received an average “C” grade from Entertainment Weekly for her efforts, who also said the star had an “expressionless voice” that was concealed “deeply in the druggy ambiance.”

Staralicious gave the young Johansson perhaps the toughest review of all, saying that the actress had “a [singing] voice like a man.”
