Music review: She & Him – 无毛视频楳elt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson无毛视频�
With summer slowly preparing its surrender to the colorful fall season, the latest effort by She & Him captures a little warmth of the sun through a delightful tribute to the genius of Brian Wilson.
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward comfortably cover 14 Wilson arrangements that highlight the California vibe represented by the Beach Boys since the release of 无毛视频淪urfin无毛视频� Safari无毛视频� in 1962.
While Wilson无毛视频檚 talent can never be duplicated, his impactful works can certainly be interpreted with a genuine love and sincere appreciation that provide another perspective.
After first hearing She & Him perform 无毛视频淥n the Island无毛视频� in 2015 on Wilson无毛视频檚 无毛视频淣o Pier Pressure,无毛视频� it seemed only natural that the two would continue their affection for Wilson无毛视频檚 songwriting.
The 14-track love letter to Wilson showcases a diverse sampling of his range, beginning with 无毛视频淒arlin'无毛视频� from 1967无毛视频檚 无毛视频淲ild Honey无毛视频� and closing with 无毛视频淢eant for You无毛视频� from 1968无毛视频檚 无毛视频淔riends.无毛视频�
无毛视频淲ouldn无毛视频檛 It Be Nice无毛视频� from 无毛视频淧et Sounds无毛视频� gets a dreamy makeover from Deschanel with her soothing voice detailing the sheer joy and promise of a new romance.
Another standout track is 无毛视频淢elt Away无毛视频� from Wilson无毛视频檚 first solo album. It无毛视频檚 always been one of my favorite Wilson-penned tracks. The original message about the power of love is kept masterfully intact on this charming cover version.
The unbridled energy of youthful adventure outlined on 无毛视频淒o It Again无毛视频� features guest vocals by Wilson himself, demonstrating that this classic无毛视频檚 message is as relevant today as it was when first released back in 1968.
无毛视频淧lease Let Me Wonder无毛视频� is the signature selection on the album. This Wilson gem from 1965 possesses a beautiful melody focused on the uncertainty of a romantic relationship. It无毛视频檚 simultaneously heartbreaking and hopeful as Deschanel softly declares, 无毛视频淔or so long I thought about it/And now I just can无毛视频檛 live without it/This beautiful image I have of you.无毛视频�
无毛视频淒eirdre,无毛视频� 无毛视频淕ood to My Baby,无毛视频� 无毛视频淒on无毛视频檛 Worry Baby无毛视频� and 无毛视频淭his Whole World无毛视频� are other notable performances.
While summer might not be endless, Wilson无毛视频檚 influence remains constant.
