I'm glad to see Brooklyn singer Sharon Van Etten getting some well deserved publicity for her forthcoming new disc, Because I Was in Love. The second full length from the Jersey born, and Tennessee raised Van Etten drops next Tuesday, May 26 on Language of Stone, and she has already received press this week from The Tripwire, and Pitchfork. The new disc really showcases Sharon's raw, intimate, and heartbreaking songs, featuring the tracks, "Consolation Prize", 'It's Not Like", and the first single "For You" which she just released a new video for below. Sharon is currently touring across the UK with Canada's, Great Lake Swimmers, with more dates around the NYC area with Alela Diane, Twi the Humble Feather, and Laura Gibson in the coming months.
