Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen by Dana Trippe
Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen worked with producer John Congleton.
Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen have unveiled their new single Like I Used To.
The collaboration comes after a long period of mutual, but more often than not distanced, admiration for each other.
“Even though we weren’t super close, I always felt supported by Angel and considered her a peer in this weird world of touring,” Van Etten says.
“We highway high-fived many times along the way. I finally got the courage in June of 2020 to reach out to see if she would want to sing together. I got greedy and quickly sent her a track I had been working on.”
“I’ve met with Sharon here and there throughout the years and have always felt too shy to ask her what she’s been up to or working on,” Olsen adds.
“The song reminded me immediately of getting back to where I started, before music was expected of me, or much was expected of me, a time that remains pure and real in my heart.”
