Biography
American composer, musician and performer born in Belleville, New Jersey, on February 26, 1981, Sharon Van Etten recorded a series of self-produced albums before breaking through in 2009 with Because I Was in Love (2009), in a purely folk style. She then took a more electric approach on Epic (2010), followed by Tramp (2012), her first album for the Jagjaguwar label, to which she has remained loyal ever since. Several other tracks released separately, such as "I'm Giving Up on You" and "Serpents ", demonstrate the eclecticism of the artist, who follows this up with the album Are We There (2014) and the EP I Don't Want Let You Down (2015). After the reissue of the first album, retitled (It Was) Because I Was in Love (2017), Sharon Van Etten returns to the full-length format with her fifth official album, Remind Me Tomorrow (2019), with its varied inspiration. The musician stepped away from the stage for a while to make her film debut, in Eliza Hittman's Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020), for which she composed the main theme "Staring at a Mountain". The following year, she followed this up with a role in How It Ends, featuring her compositions "How Much I Loved You" and "Till We Meet Again". Now based in Los Angeles ahead of the Covid-19 pandemic, the artist collaborates as bassist with the charity group Fountains of Wayne, urgently replacing Adam Schlesinger, who died in April 2020. Returning to solo work with a cover of Nick Lowe performed with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age ("What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love & Understanding?"), Van Etten then teamed up with Angel Olsen on "Like I Used To" (2021) and set to work on his sixth studio album We've Been Going About This All Wrong (2022), enhanced by four new songs on its reissue. In 2023, two more songs are written for the screen, the big one with "Quiet Eyes" and the small one with "Close to You". She then surrounded herself with a band to produce the album Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory (2025).
