We’ve Been Going About This All Wrong by Sharon Van Etten

We've Been Going About This All Wrong, Sharon Van Etten's sixth studio album, came out on Jagjaguwar on May 6, 2022, three years after Remind Me Tomorrow. She wrote every song on it alone and produced it with Daniel Knowles, and it sounds like it: an intimate, inward record whose arrangements swell and recede around a voice that can go from a hush to a howl inside a single verse. Personal songwriting has always been her stock in trade, and here it feels almost like reading someone's diary by lamplight.

Four singles led the way, and "Mistakes" is the track rock radio's countdowns picked up. Critics loved it, it turned up in plenty of best-of-the-year roundups, and it reached the charts in a number of countries. A deluxe edition followed on November 11 with two more singles, and her next album, Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory, put her backing band's name on the cover.
