Nothing is more delightful than when She & Him offers up some dreamy new music. Zooey Deschanel's light and bubbly vocals never fail to put a smile on my face and the new single "I Could've Been Your Girl" has me grinning like a fool.

Their indie-psychadelic style creates such a fresh and ethereal listening experience, you won't be disappointed. [Stereogum]
