Sharon Van Etten performed her impassioned new song Seventeen on Wednesdays Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The singer-songwriter, decked out in a sharp red suit, stood stationary on the stage one hand clutching the microphone, the other holding a pair of maracas that she shook on the songs chorus. Over piano washes, whirring synthesizer and a muted tom-tom groove, she built a dynamic vocal from soft early lines to a frantic scream in the final verse.
Van Etten also performed You Shadow, adopting more of a twangy tone over a loping groove laced with fuzz guitar and bright organ chords. Both tracks, along with the recently issued Jupiter 4 and Comeback Kid, appear on her upcoming LP, Remind Me Tomorrow, out January 18th.
The singer will promote Remind Me Tomorrow on a 33-date world tour; a North American leg launches February 6th in Washington, D.C. and concludes March 1st in Los Angeles, California, followed by a run of European dates throughout March and early April.
