When not starring in TV’s New Girl, Zooey Deschanel sings in this pop duo with M. Ward. The pair’s latest is a summery affair, full of sun-kissed originals like “I Could’ve Been Your Girl” and the ukulele-tickled “Turn to White” and the sweet cover of Blondie’s new wave nugget “Sunday Girl.”
Together with musical partner M. Ward, Zooey Deschanel (star of TV’s New Girl) indulges her undying love for retro pop. The duo’s fourth album features their rich, burnished renditions of romantic gems like Dusty Springfield’s “Stay Awhile,” the Righteous Brothers’ “Unchained Melody” and Dionne Warwick’s “This Girl’s in Love with You.”
