Cute quirky actress Zooey Deschanel, 28, has a debut album out with her band She & Him in which she sings folksy music in a kind of sweet country throwback twang.

The Huffington Post points us to this video of Keira Knightley singing in a retro-look clip from her upcoming film, The Edge of Love. That’s really her singing and she has a decent voice .
