Scarlett Johansson’s pop band hits with legal issue

“I woke up one morning and learned from the news that our band name was literally just taken by someone else as their own,” The Singles’ Vincent Frederick wrote in a press release.

“It’s hard to believe that any musician would do something like that to another band. The Singles has been my life for the past 16 years. We have worked so incredibly hard to make it a success,” it read further.

Johansson formed her own The Singles with Este Haim of HAIM, Holly Miranda, Kendra Morris and Julia Haltigan.

The statement came along with their debut single ‘Candy’. The song was produced by TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek who previously worked with Johansson on her 2008 Tom Waits cover album, ‘Anywhere I Lay My Head’.
