(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NO ONE'S EASY TO LOVE") The crooning that confides secrets, the chant of baby, baby, baby that sounds as though she's channeling The Shangri-Las from a half-century ago, it's all a way of describing the kind of love that floods into your life, filling it up, full. The music suggests something far more doubtful, something more pessimistic.īut listening to the song over and over, it struck me. The line, I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life for someone like you, it may take you by surprise. The track is characterized by keyboards and drum machines, swirled around to create a smoothly ominous sound that's echoed by Van Etten's ghostly vocal.
TUCKER: That's "Jupiter 4," its title the name of a synthesizer. It's true that everyone would like to have met a love so real. Baby, baby, baby, I've been waiting, waiting, waiting my whole life for someone like you. Baby, baby, baby, I've been searching for you. It's echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing, echoing. VAN ETTEN: (Singing) Touching your face - how'd it take a long, long time to be here? Turning the wheel on my street, my heart still skips a beat. And this album "Remind Me Tomorrow" is powered by keyboards with a richer, fuller sound than anything she's done before. Putting down her guitar on which she composed a lot of her earlier music, Van Etten plays the organ on that song.
KEN TUCKER, BYLINE: That's "Comeback Kid." It's a song that announces Sharon Van Etten's return to making albums, not so much in its lyric - Van Etten isn't making a comeback - as in its music. SHARON VAN ETTEN: (Singing) Hey, you're the comeback kid. Rock critic Ken Tucker says Van Etten's new music has moved beyond the boundaries of standard singer-songwriter work.
