Sharon Van Etten - Because I Was In Love (Vinyl) 2016 The Electric Children of HildegardIntimacy reigns supreme on Sharon Van Ettens debut, which finds the folksinger crooning her melodies over beds of acoustic guitar, keyboard, and overdubbed harmonies. Her lyrics are the stuff of heartbreak and uncertainty I wish I knew what to do with you she laments during the first track, and later refers to herself as a lovers consolation prize but her performances are confident, both simple in their delivery and subtle in their emotional punch.
