Sharon Van Etten hasn’t released a new album since 2019's Remind Me Tomorrow, but that’s about to change. Her sixth album, We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong, arrives on May 6 via Jagjaguwar.
That’s one hell of a title. But as it’s explained in the digital press kit, “We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong concerns itself with the questions we ask ourselves when we think the world—or at least, our world—might be ending. Have we loved as well as we could? Did we try hard enough? How do we protect the things most precious to us from destructive forces beyond our control? And how do we salvage something worthwhile when it seems all is lost?”
