She & Him Take on Frank Sinatra's 'Time After Time' [LISTEN]

She & Him have a new album of timeless tunes coming out titled Classics, and the pair have recently shared their rendition of Frank Sinatra's "Time After Time."

Ol' Blue Eyes first sang the song back in 1947 in the movie It Happened in Brooklyn with Kathryn Grayson, Consequence of Sound reports. Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward do a terrific job with the track, but they do not do much in the way of modernizing it, which is the all-around charm of She & Him. They trade in the rolling violins from Sinatra's version for a steady snare drum brushing and a faint synthesizer. Listen to the cover below.

She & Him join a long list of famous acts who also covered "Time After Time," including Carly Simon, Ella Fitzgerald, Rod Stewart and Alex Chilton.

The group recently shared their take on Dusty Springfield's "Stay Awhile," and they even performed it live for Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. She & Him announced the release date recently as well, saying Classics will hit stores Dec. 2. Check out the full tracklist below.
