Sharon Van Etten might just be the Pied Piper of Refinery29. You think we kid, but the quietly thoughtful singer-songwriter came by our offices recently, omnichord in hand, and dazzled our editors, wandering the halls, singing some of the most beautiful songs from her new album, Are We There. Slowly but surely, a crowd gathered behind her, and she led us all to the studio downstairs, where we captured a haunting performance of her latest single, "Taking Chances," on video. Hit play above, listen closely, and prepare to be mesmerized.
Sharon's new album, Are We There, is on iTunes now, and we strongly encourage you listen to the whole, beautiful thing.
