The vocal that she contributes elevates the song in a way that I couldn’t do on my own and it also represents how she has lifted me up since the day I first reached out.Īs with many of the I’ll Be Your Mirror preview tracks released to-date - among them, covers from Kurt Vile, Matt Berninger, and Courtney Barnett - Van Etten’s cover feels understated, novel and still entirely in step with The Velvet Underground’s volatile spirit. I was confiding in Angel Olsen a lot at the time of recording this, and needing direction, looking for inspiration… this song marks the beginning of me getting the courage to ask Angel to collaborate with me. When I was asked to try a hand at covering Femme Fatale, my gut automatically wanted to go to a darker, ominous place, with a shadow of romance. (Down in the mix, too, is Angel Olsen on background vocals.) Van Etten’s titular subject is no longer just some passerby, observed at a cool remove - she’s a mighty force. In lieu of the original’s delicate arrangement, “Femme Fatale” here features a churning wash of low feedback and trudging piano chords, moving like a big tide. The Velvet Underground & Nico originally released Femme Fatale written by Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground & Nico released it on the single Sunday.
What sets Van Etten’s cover apart though are the massive currents of noise that she runs beneath the surface. Femme Fatale is a song by The Velvet Underground from their 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico.
The version of the Velvet Underground classic sounds expansive and restless, with a resolute vocal performance from Van Etten that flows in long waves atop the song. Sharon Van Etten has released a cover on The Velvet Underground & Nico’s “Femme Fatale.” The cover comes from the forthcoming tribute record, I’ll Be Your Mirror: A Tribute to the Velvet Underground & Nico, produced by Hal Willner and, after an impressively long rollout, due for release this Friday.
