Gotta love Zooey Deschanel.
First, it is possible to not smile when saying her name? Zoeey. Zooey. Zooey.
Secondly, she’s mastered the art of quirkiness to the extreme, from her role on New Girl (and every movie she’s ever appeared in) to her wacky is-it-raining-Siri commercials for Apple. And now, she’s back with her musical partner, M. Ward, with She & Him’s brand-new album, Volume 3.
Playful and effervescent without being annoying, the album represents an ideal soundtrack for summer chillaxin’. With several different styles of music, including disco inspirations here and horn flourishes there, it’s always something new.
What’s really impressive is that she penned 11 of the albums 14 songs herself.
Not bad for somebody who can’t look out the window to see if it’s raining.
