Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson is the seventh studio album by American musical duo She & Him, a collaboration between Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. The album was released by Fantasy Records on July 22, 2022. [1] It is a tribute to Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys, featuring covers of Beach Boys songs written by Wilson, in addition to featuring Brian Wilson on the track " Do It Again".
Riff felt that the "album's 14 tracks find a sweet spot between the sunny, fun-fun-fun façade of Wilson's music and the anxieties and melancholy that anchor it", [2] while American Songwriter reviewed that "it's an unorthodox tack for a tribute, but it's one that still resonates well." [3]
