Sell my past for a way to sing and have something left to say

Thursday music corner: Labelmates Sharon Van Etten and Angel Olsen collaborated on this song first released as a single on 20 May 2021, which arose from a collaboration request Van Etten first made in 2020. Happily, it turned out they'd both long wanted to collaborate with each other. This acoustic version of the single was released in August 2021. 

Van Etten and Olsen have each released five studio albums, with the most recent from each artist being Van Etten’s Remind Me Tomorrow from 2019 and Olsen’s Whole New Mess from 2020. The song was produced by John Congleton, who has also worked with many artists over the past 20 years including Amanda Palmer, Antony & the Johnsons, Bill Callahan, Blondie, Erykah Badu and St Vincent.
