Actress Zooey Deschanel has completed her first album with the producing help of folk singer M. Ward.

Ward, who met Deschanel on the set of the upcoming film, “The Go Getter,” told AVclub.com that he was extremely impressed by Dechanel’s original songs. “I was amazed by the quality… I just had an incredible time working with her. She’s an amazing talent, and a genius vocalist… I’m looking forward to people hearing this record.”

Ward isn’t the only person Deschanel has impressed with her pipes. She will be playing Janis Joplin in the upcoming biopic “The Gospel According To Janis.” She has previously sung onscreen in films like “Elf,” “Winter Passing,” and in the short film that marked Julia Stiles’ directorial debut, “Raving.” Deschanel also lent her voice to several tracks on Jason “Coconut Records” Schwartzman’s solo album, “Nighttiming.”

Look for Deschanel’s album to be released later this year.
