  • Sharon Van Etten Announces (It Was) Because I Was in Love, Deluxe Reissue of Debut Album, Because I Was in Love, out November 17
    October 3, 2017 For Immediate Release Sharon Van Etten Announces (it was) because i was in love, Deluxe Reissue of Debut Album, because i was in love, Out November 17 Listen to “I Wish I Knew” – https://soundcloud.com/sharonvanetten/sharon-van-etten-i-wish-i-knew/s- egwWr (photo credit - Ryan Pfluger / AUGUST) “It was an innocent and beautiful record, which some of my newer fans may not even know about. This seemed like the perfect time to remix and remaster it, and give it a new life.” – Sharon Van Etten Sharon Van Etten will release (it was) because i was in love, a deluxe reissue of her debut album, because i was in love, on November 17 as a Vinyl Me Please exclusive (pre-order available Nov. 9) and via Sharon’s online shop. It will be available digitally everywhere. Recorded by Greg Weeks who co- produced alongside Van Etten and initially released the album on his Language of Stone label, the reissue has been remixed by Craig Silvey, remastered by Joe Lambert and includes deluxe vinyl packaging with new artwork and liner notes, as well as two bonus tracks. For nearly a decade, Van Etten has been treasured as an artist whose songs flow with a rare and honest vulnerability and courage. Three full-length albums since the release of because i was in love, Van Etten still imbues her songs with the naked emotion that other singer-songwriters might iron out of their recordings. She wants us to hear the humanity of her work, the imperfections that make it palpable, the longing and heartache we’ve all nursed at some point.
