We see many actors try to crossover into the music world, especially in the pop genre where they can have their voice so overproduced that nobody will notice that they can not sing. That is why I took notice when Zooey Deschanel entered the indie music world with M. Ward to form She & Him.
She had shown some singing chops in her movies before, most notably in Elf with Will Ferrell and The Go-Getter where she met M. Ward. Now She & Him have released their second album Volume Two back on March 23rd and it seems to be another good one, I believe even better than the first.
She & Him have announced tour dates for the spring of 2010. They dazzled at SXSW again and will perform at music festivals such as Coachella, Bonnaroo, Savannah and Sasquatch.
Above is a live recording of She & Him at the Sirius XMU studios from a couple weeks ago. Stripped down i think her voice sounds even better. It reminds me a little of June Carter Cash which is always a good thing. She is living up to the new ‘Omaha Sound’ label and I feel will be singing for years to come.
Bottom Line: This cute chick can sing!
