Sharon Van Etten has shared “Close to You,” co-written with Courtney Barnett. The track is another cut from the official soundtrack to the upcoming Apple Original drama series The Buccaneers.
Interscope Records has also unveiled the complete tracklist for the star-studded all-female soundtrack, which includes Van Etten, Gracie Abrams, and Miya Folick—and was produced by Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint. The album will drop on Wednesday, November 8, the same day The Buccaneers premieres globally on Apple TV+.
Of the album, Mozgawa said: “It was a truly incredible experience working with this group of uniquely talented artists. Everyone brought their A-game and taught me something invaluable about the creative process. Witnessing these artists map each character’s journey through song was a joy and the album feels like a really exciting companion to the show.”
Van Etten “Close to You” adds an alluring slice of romance to the soundtrack. “I got a taste of being with you, don’t wanna waste more time,” she opens over a crisp beat and languid guitar. The song slinks along like a dreamy noir washed in reverb and touched with an electrifying intimacy. “Put on your best dress and get out of your head,” she sings on the chorus, before closing with an ominous message: “Get away and I’ll stay close to you.”
