Music reviews of Volume One
Music Review: A star quality performance
Rating: 4 Stars
I have noticed that after the mere mention of her name someone is always sure to have a remark of adoration about her. I think every guy has at least fallen a little in love with Zooey Deschanel after seeing one of her movies. She's just so darn cute! From the way she crinkles her nose when she smiles, to her infinitely sweet mannerisms, she can melt your heart, and perhaps remind us that wholesomeness is a quality to be treasured once again. Her record, "She and Him, Volume 1" is right on par with that wholesome quality she portrays so well in many of her movies.
There is a nice little video, "Myspace, Artist on Artist," you can search for on the internet in which she and Brian Wilson (formerly of The Beach Boys) interview each other. After listening to this album you'll easily understand why Deschanel and Wilson have been paired together. As Wilson tries to blend his eclectic past to the present, Deschanel inversely tries to lend her sound to that of the time from which Wilson's fame arose. Here it seems that the 60's aren't so distant after all. In the interview, Deschanel and Wilson speak about their mutual love for harmony. And in "Volume 1" Deschanel and M. Ward captivate their audience with seamless harmony that opens up a window to the past.
Passing from one track to the next on "Volume 1" could just as likely seem like listening to tracks from "She and Him, Greatest Hits." One track is better that the last so don't be surprised to find yourself singing them to yourself throughout the day. Her music is accessible to people of all musical bents. So don't take your time buying this one. As Deschanel puts it in track 3, "this is not a test," this is the real thing!
Description of Volume One
This is the musical debut from M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, paired together by director Martin Hayens to perform the Richard and Linda Thompson tune "When I Get To The Border" for his film "The Go-Getter". Their match sparked the idea for "Volume One". Limited touring this spring.Some of us first fell in love with Zooey Deschanel's distinctive and charming voice when she crooned, "Baby it's cold outside," with Will Ferrell in their 2003 movie, Elf. Then, in concert last summer, M.Ward invited Deschanel to the stage, where they effortlessly created the equivalent of musical utopia. In their first recorded collaboration as She & Him, Deschanel and Ward strike the same sincerity with his nostalgic production and her retro resonance. Cover songs such as "You Really Got a Hold on Me," previously performed by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, gain a newfound heartache and undeniable splendor. Bring on Volume 2. --Amanda MacKinnon
