Free Music Notes for Volume One
Free Music Review: Can't wait for Volume Two and Three!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not quite sure where to start... I loved Zooey Deschanel's voice, it's so different from everything on the radio right now.
And I definitely wouldn't write this CD off as another boring, indie CD with 'deep' lyrics.
Almost all the songs were written by Z. Deschanel, except for a couple of covers. She is a dazzling song writer, each of her songs stuck with me for days after listening. Most of them are love songs, but not mushy. Well, maybe "I Was Made For You" is a little bit mushy, but it's a cute, 60s-style song.
She & Him has also gotten me into so many different kinds of music, like folk and soft country. (And I thought I hated country!)
My favorite songs from Volume One are "Change is Hard," "You Really Got a Hold On Me," and "I Though I Saw Your Face Today." They're all gorgeous songs.
I 100% recommend She & Him's debut album, Volume One.
Free Music Review: An impressive collaboration
Hit: 5 Stars
If you haven't caught wind of She & Him by now, it's time to move out from that rock you've been living under and look into it ASAP. She & Him is comprised of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, two very recognizable names on their own merits. Their first combined effort entitled Volume One leaves us on the edge of our seats, wanting and hoping for more "Volumes" to follow. The twelve songs on the collection combine a bit of country twang with a reminiscent sprinkling of the oldies your parents grew up on. Add to that Deschanel's effortlessly dashing voice, and you've got an impressive first collaboration.

Free Music Review: if I could give it 10 stars I would
Hit: 5 Stars
I could count the number of female voices I enjoy on one hand and still have fingers left over. But Zooey Deschanel is one of those voices. I have tried to categorize this group but I can't. Zooey's voice is achingly soulful at times, childishly playful at others, and sometimes has a bit of a country twang. In my opinion she could sing just about any song and make it delightful. Every song on this album is a gem! I can't pick a favorite but I go around singing Why Do You Make Me Stay Here all the time. I was surprised to see that Zooey wrote all but three of the songs. This girl has talent! I'm giddy awaiting future releases.Free Music Review: new and classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is new and refreshing, but has a classic feel to it, the kind of songs you hum around the house like you've heard them on the radio a thousand times...but you haven't. This is new stuff except for a couple cover songs (which weren't necessary in my opinion)
Zooey has a beautiful voice, she could easily be known for her singing rather than her acting...I've recently become a big fan :) She sings and tells a story, M. Ward sets the tone perfectly, these two are a great pair, can't wait to see them live. This is one of the best, most interesting and different Cd's I have bought in a long time. - David
Free Music Review: Gorgeous singing! Great audio mix!
Hit: 5 Stars
Ever since hearing Zooey sing in "Elf" I have been hoping she would record a CD. She has a beautiful voice and sings very well. M. Ward has a unique and interesting voice, very enjoyable. Seeing them live in Madison, WI this summer was fun! While M. Ward doesn't play guitar masterfully, his sound complements Zooey quite nicely. Luckily the rhythm guitarist was there to keep him on track. I highly recommend this CD to anyone who appreciates good music, particularly a sound reminiscent of the late sixties and early seventies, both in melody and in the recording style.
