Oct 07, 2019 Sharon Van Etten By Christopher Roberts

Sharon Van Etten released a new album, Remind Me Tomorrow, in January via Jagjaguwar (it was our Album of the Week). Now she has stopped by NPR Music to perform three songs as part of their Tiny Desk Concert series. For the uninitiated, Tiny Desk Concerts are stripped down sets recorded at the desk of Bob Boilen, the host of NPR’s All Songs Considered. She performed “Comeback Kid,” “You Shadow,” and “Seventeen.” Watch the session below.

Read our in-depth interview with Sharon Van Etten on Remind Me Tomorrow and check out our exclusive photo shoot with her.

Previously Van Etten shared Remind Me Tomorrow‘s first single, “Comeback Kid” (which was one of our Songs of the Week), as well as a video for the song. Then she shared another song from the album, “Jupiter 4,” via a video for the song. The compelling tension filled track was all build-up with no release and its dark and mysterious black & white video matched the song’s vibe well. “Jupiter 4” was also one of our Songs of the Week. Then she shared “Seventeen,” via a video for the track that features the singer in New York City, but in the spirit of the song, also flashes back to a 17-year-old version of Van Etten. “Seventeen” was also one of our Songs of the Week. Then she stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform two songs from the album: “Seventeen” on the broadcast show and “You Shadow” as a web-exclusive. Then she performed “Seventeen” on Ellen and did “Comeback Kid” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Then she shared a video for “No One’s Easy to Love.” More recently she shared a new more bluesy version of “Seventeen,” as a duet with Norah Jones, as well as a short documentary, entitled Departure, about the creation of the new version and her decision to move away from New York City after living there for 15 years.

Van Etten also co-stars in the Netflix series The OA and season 2 premiered in March (alas the show was later cancelled).
