NEWS - Una "New Girl" sotto l'Albero! Zooey Deschanel sorprende con un album di canzoni natalizie

Articolo tratto da Billboard.com

As Zooey Deschanel winds down a hectic 2011 that included a successful sitcom launch, scattered film appearances and a Christmas album as one-half of She & Him, the singer/actress tells Billboard.com that she is already in the preliminary stages of putting together the folk-pop duo's next full-length.
"I've been writing a lot," says Deschanel, "so hopefully we'll be in the studio pretty soon." Instead of diving into the proper follow-up to 2010's "Volume Two" this year, Deschanel and guitarist/producer M. Ward took a detour and decided to issue "A Very She & Him Christmas," a 12-track holiday covers album released in October on Merge Records. Since its release, the album has sold 128,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"We just do what we want, really," says Deschanel, who tracked "A Very She & Him Christmas" over a six-day span with Ward. "There's no grand plan for our career, or something. The wonderful thing is that we're on an amazing indie label that's super artist-friendly, and gives us the room to do our thing. This is just something we've been wanting to do for a long time, and actually we wanted to get one out last year, but it was too hard to get together. So we ended up getting in the studio in April and got it done."
