For a good sense of their lane, try 'I'm Gonna Make It Better' or 'Bring It On Home.' It's all delivered with her recognizable voice.
She & Him carved out a space for straightforward, melodic folk-pop when that wasn't the trend. Songs like 'I Was Made For You' from their 2008 debut 'Volume 1' have a clear, uncomplicated charm. They kept making records their own way, even covering tracks like 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and working with Brian Wilson on one occasion.
Deschanel began working with M. Ward in 2006, and She & Him's first album arrived in 2008. They've released several more records since, including a couple of Christmas albums, sticking to their retro-pop lane. The duo's sound ranges from the upbeat 'Don't Look Back' to more subdued songs like 'Black Hole'.
