Starbucks’ Sweetheart CD
Posted on February 5, 2009
I just got my Starbucks’ cover album Sweethearts (Our Favorite Artists and Their Favorite Love Songs) CD in the mail! Each artist has a short quote about the song they chosed to cover. I’ve transcribed what Zooey and Matt said about their cover song:”I Put a Spell On You”:
‘I Put a Spell On You’ is a haunting sog about the dark side of love. We figured everyone would be doing happy love songs, so why not round out the lineup with a song for all the lonely hearts out there. It’s our favorite obsessive long song. Hopefully ths version will help people appreciate their normal relationship on Valetine’s Day.
It’s a pretty sweet cover. You can check it out here if you can’t make it to a Starbucks to pick up a copy.

Ward may have had two very different career paths in the past, but by the sounds of this buttery ’40s inspired hit, their future may melt together like an ooey-gooey fantastical dream. [read]
