Scarlett in the recording studio

Actress Scarlett Johansson has reportedly inked a record deal.

Sources say the Lost In Translation beauty will release an album of covers of songs by gravel-voiced crooner Tom Waits.

Fox News columnist Roger Friedman reports: "The record, 'Scarlett Sings Tom Waits' is being recorded now and through the winter, with a possible release next spring from Rhino Records' recently reactivated Atco label. "

"The eventual release date will be coordinated with Johansson's movie schedule."

A spokesman for Scarlett, 21, did not return calls.

Friedman added: "Unlike some other recent pop tarts, Scarlett - who turns 22 next month - can actually sing; she is no Paris Hilton. Also her choice of material is a tad more sophisticated."
