Sharon Van Etten’s best songs are often marked by their restraint: There’s a feeling that her husky and wide-ranging voice, along with her roiling guitars, could run off the rails, but they’re held in place by her steadfast sense of control. “Seventeen,” from this year’s Remind Me Tomorrow, stretches this idea to the limit—and then careens right past it. The song is immaculately arranged, a lockstep keyboard-rock anthem that’s artfully mussed with synth wobbles and Van Etten’s quavering vocals. But then, as her ambivalent reflections on a youthful doppelgänger wind down, she unleashes a full-throated scream: “Afraid that you’ll be just like me,” she bellows, losing her cool but gaining something even fiercer. –Marc Hogan

Sharon Van Etten（莎朗·范·埃滕）的代表作以克制感为标志：你能感觉到其歌曲中沙哑浑厚的嗓音伴着捉摸不定的吉他和弦几乎随时可能脱节，但却又每每被她巧妙地把握拿捏。她今年的新专《Remind Me Tomorrow（明天提醒我）》中“Seventeen（十七岁）”这首歌便是该风格的登峰造极之作。这首歌的编曲完美无瑕，极其艺术地融合了合成器颤音和歌手的迷离声线，是一首以琴键为主旋律的怀旧摇滚。随着节奏的推进，当她对稚嫩的多贝格尔琴的矛盾情绪渐渐消退时，她失声尖叫：“害怕你会像我一样”。她情绪失控，疯狂的吼叫宣泄使这首歌变得更为打动人心。
