Actress Zooey Deschanel's latest work is not in movie form, but in the shape of another small disc, an album. Deschanel recently put out a cd with M. Ward as producer, with their collaboration titled She and Him. Volume One is a charming cd, full of twang and nods to the seventies. Deschanel's voice sounds like a simple and refined Joanna Newsom on the single "Sentimental Heart". Much of the songs have drawn resemblances to various old-timey styles like motown, seventies folk and also the cheesy hits of female singers during this decade. Cheese in an artistic sense is usually a horrible description, but on "I Thought I Saw Your Face Today" it manages to be so sweet that you'll be glad Ward and Deschanel brought it back. Ward joins Deschanel on the cover of the Beatles song "I Should Have Known Better" and with the addition of a ukulele, the classic is transported to Hawaii. Comparisons of Deschanel's vocals and style has been drawn to Carol King and Linda Ronstadt. So check it out, it's a decent listen.
