| Zoey Deschanel releases an album
  Quote:
She is actress Zooey Deschanel, Him is alt-singer/songwriter M. Ward. The two met on the set of a movie, found some musical common ground, and began working together. Volume One is the resulting album and it's one of the better albums ever made by a movie star, male or female.
Good enough that it even heads off the obligatory suspicions that she only got to make a record because she was a Hollywood star.
After a few spins of the album one could make a compelling case that Deschanel could quit her day job, or at least justifiably call herself an actress/musician. The common ground that the duo found and explore on Volume One is a kind of magical place where light-'60s pop meets strummy country tunes and candy-coated folk, a mythical meeting place between Sandie Shaw and Tammy Wynette with cameos by Richard & Linda Thompson.
Deschanel's songs are simple and sad tales of heartbreak and missed connections, with hooky melodies and not a single artless moment to be found. For sure there's not a single instance that sounds like she got the gig because of who she is, instead of what she can do.
| I've heard a wee sample, and it wasnt THAT bad, might track down the entire album and give it a go..

She has such a lovely voice - I have no idea what the music's going to be like, but I do love her singing. | |

I got this during the week (purely because I want to have lots and lots of sex with Zooey, and she won't take her clothes off if I don't have a copy of her album) and her voice is incredible. The album's pretty good, in a lo-fi, slightly country kinda way.
