Editorial Review:
Product Description:
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

This album is not that great. Zooey Deschanel's voice is amazing, and if her counter part M. Ward could sing better this might be an okay album. The problem here is that most of the album are cover songs. I love Zooey's voice, but when it comes to covers they have to be amazing, or they are god awful. Unfortunately this is an example of the latter and Zooey's voice couldn't pull it out of that category. The original songs are better, but the overall CD isn't worth it.

I originally heard this playing in a store in Dublin, and I liked it so much that I stayed in the store extra long so I could listen to the 60s/70s soft gospel sound. Upon obtaining the band name from the kind cashier, I immediately ran home and bought it. . . it wasn't until I actually looked up the band I realized Zooey Deschanel was the vocalist. Being a fan of Douglas Adams (the role that I first knew her from was Trillian), I could appreciate the multitalent that she has, and the combination ... Read More

Brilliant vocals and extremely well executed and unpretentious songs. Deschanel will bring us more greatness...I hope!

Strange headline, eh? Well, though my favorite artists are Springsteen, The Kinks, and The Rainmakers, I can't get She & Him "Volume One" out of my CD player. It's the first CD since Springsteen's "Born to Run" where I readily liked every song on it -- consider that a high compliment.
I've been entranced by the inventive and very tuneful melodies of the songs She wrote. It took a few listenings, but "Change Is Hard" has emerged by my favorite and most unforgettable song. The tune ... Read More

Zooey captures your heart with her soothing vocals and catchy lyrics in this fabulus alblum of irrisible songs. There's no dead space on any of these rocking tracks that make your spirit soar and bring a smile to your face as Zooey enchants and entrances you with her unique, angelic voice. Hopefully Volume II comes out sooner than later. Zooey rocks!
