Sharon Van Etten has released two Christmas songs digitally: “Silent Night” b/w “Blue Christmas”.
Each track comes with a bit of background. “Silent Night” was recorded in 2018 for the “The Letter,” a short film by Eric Paschal Johnson, with b-side "Blue Christmas,” originally released on a benefit album called Do You EAR what I Ear in 2009 for the Association to Benefit Children. It's the first time either has been available on a streaming service.
You can stream them both below for a bit of variety from SPB's usual heavier fare.
