While mega-coffee chain Starbucks expects to make layoffs and close a number of stores this year, they still seem to knock it out of the park with their custom-made compilation albums. Their latest mix, Sweetheart: Our Favorite Artists Sing Their Favorite Love Song, hits stores tomorrow.
The fourteen track disc features the likes of She & Him, Death Cab For Cutie, Rogue Wave, A.C. Newman, Ben Bridwell (of Band Of Horses), DeVotchKa and more tackling songs from the likes of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, The Cure, a-ha, George Harrison and The Flying Burrito Brothers.
