WATCH SHARON VAN ETTEN’S TINY DESK CONCERT

After touring Japan next month, Sharon Van Etten will embark on a six-city tour in January, followed by a string of highly-coveted international dates opening for The National.  She’ll bring along songs from her recently-released sophomore album epic (Ba Da Bing), as well as a few new gems that will steal your heart (though just to warn you, her songs might break your heart as well).

Just before Sharon launched her current tour opening for Junip, she visited the NPR offices to film a Tiny Desk Concert, which is now available online.  In this video, one witnesses a charming woman who grins humbly after each song before plunging into the next set of emotionally-charged lyrics.  And if she wasn’t busy enough, this week marks the release of I’m Giving Up On You (Polyvinyl), a 7” featuring two exclusive songs (which is sold out, but available on iTunes), plus you can find Sharon’s distinctive vocals on the forthcoming album from Brooklyn-based band Airwaves.

CHROMEO COLLABORATE WITH LA ROUX FOR “HOT MESS” REDUX

Chromeo have teamed up with La Roux’s Elly Jackson for a dynamic electro-funk duet, “Hot Mess.” The original version appears on Chromeo’s latest album, Business Casual (Big Beat/Atlantic), but Jackson took a shine to the Canadian duo and offered to lend vocals to the new and recently completed redux. “Hot Mess” marks a rare appearance for Jackson outside of her work as La Roux.

“Hot Mess” itself is an ice-cold break up number, not unlike classic ’80s duets by Prince & Sheena Easton, the Pet Shop Boys & Dusty Springfield, or The Human League. “Hot Mess” will be released as a single complete with remixes by Turbo Recordings founder Tiga and Duck Sauce who recently dominated international charts with the single, “Barbra Streisand.” Chromeo recently worked with Parisian design house Surface To Air to produce the stunning video for “Hot Mess” which premiered online earlier this week, receiving attention from mainstream sites and taste-making blogs alike. Carrying the momentum into the New Year, the duo of Dave 1 and P-Thugg will hit the road for a string of US dates this winter.
