Why don't you sit right down and stay awhile

A famous movie actress and an almost famous singer. This is Zooey Deschanel. The American girl made her debut when she was nineteen years old and continued with a lot of movies. She has played roles in all kind of movies: from thrillers like 'The Happening', to comedies like 'Elf', to children's films like 'Bridge to Terabithia', and she even made an appearance in some episodes of the series 'Weeds'.

As I already said, besides acting she also likes to sing. It started when Zooey and the musician M. Ward met on the set of a movie. They performed a duet together and after a few talks the band 'She & Him' was formed. Matt (that's mister Ward's real name. Good thing he decided to only show his initial in his artist name. Sounds interesting, don't you think?) and Zooey launched their first album, Volume One, in March this year. It contains sweet, quirky and retro songs:

"Why do you let me stay here?"

"Sweet darlin' ", unfortunately no video but some lovely pictures.

And I have good news: they are currently working on a new album! M. Ward announced this in October, so hopefully Volume Two will be launched in the beginning of the new year. He said about it: "Zooey has about a gazillion brand new awesome songs. All we know about Volume Two is that it's going to be twice as good as Volume One."








Photos from Google and I don't know where anymore

Last but not least a montage of scenes from the movie 'Elf' with a singing Zooey. It's almost Christmas time, my dearest dears!
