As bright-eyed brunette beauty Zooey Deschanel winds down with the busy year, including a very successful sitcom launch, some film appearances and a marvelous Christmas album as a half of She and Him, the songstress tells about how she already is in the preliminary stages of putting together the folk-pop duo’s next full-length show. see her again this time around on New Girl Season 1 Episode 10: Christmas which will be on December 20, 2011.
"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."
Ever since the release of the Christmas album, She and Him have been performing “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” on Ellen and “The Christmas waltz” on The Tonight Show. The New Girl star has also picked up a Grammy nomination for Best song Written for Visual Media.
"To me, this is much more comfortable," she says. "Even though the hours are really long, it's more comfortable to me to work with a character and develop it over time… I know we have a big hiatus in the spring and summer though, so that's when I can do other projects." And don’t forget to see her around on New Girl Season 1 Episode 10: Christmas.
