Sharon Van Etten is back with her first single via Jagjaguwar of 2020 and the first single, “”Beaten Down”, since moving to L.A. after a years in Brooklyn. She also announced a headlining show in Central Park’s SummerStage on July 29th.
The single produced by John Congleton, is the follow up to last year’s tour de force of an album, Remind Me Tomorrow. The video, directed by Nicky and Juliana Giraffe of Giraffe Studios, stars Van Etten along the duo of Allison and Veronica Huber.

About the song she said, “It’s about making life-changing choices and remaining strong enough to see them through.”
Nicky and Juliana Giraffe explained about the video that, “Our goal was to create a striking and psychedelic video set in the California desert, a welcoming of Sharon’s next chapter here. Upon hearing the song, our minds automatically drifted into stark black and white, fever dreams, dark silhouettes contrasted against a barren desert landscape.”
Sharon Van Etten has another project looming over the horizon, aside from her upcoming tour dates, with her role in Eliza Hittman’s new film, Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always. The film, which releases to theaters on March 13th, premiered at Sundance Film Festival and won the U.S. Dramatic Special Jury Award for Neorealism.
