Waiting for Sharon Van Etten’s “The Album” has felt like waiting for a close friend to reveal their deepest, most vulnerable feelings. The title feels loaded, hinting at an excavation of her inner world. And this excavation is precisely what Van Etten delivers. “The Album” is a deeply personal and affecting work that finds her grappling with loss, longing, and the complexities of relationships. It’s a record that demands your full attention, offering little in the way of easy listening but rewarding the listener who chooses to dive deep. Musically, Van Etten’s signature blend of shoegaze-tinged indie rock and Americana is present here, but it’s amplified and matured. Her voice, as always, is the record’s anchor, simultaneously fragile and formidable. Songs like “Anything” crackle with yearning, while “Cut Me Again” brims with a raw, bluesy power that’s both aching and mesmerizing. Lyrically, “The Album” feels intimate and raw, exploring themes of heartbreak, intimacy, and the lingering shadows of past traumas. It’s a concept record that works as a tapestry, weaving together the threads of Van Etten’s life experience into something both universal and deeply personal. Though some may find “The Album” emotionally challenging, it’s precisely this vulnerability that makes it so compelling. It’s an album that refuses to shy away from the messy, confusing, and often painful aspects of the human experience, making it a deeply resonant and ultimately rewarding listen.
