Sharon Van Etten shared a new single, “Close To You,” co-written with Courtney Barnett. The song is set for the upcoming soundtrack to the Apple Original series The Buccaneers, due out on November 8 when the show premieres on Apple TV+.
The Buccaneers soundtrack also features songs from Lucius, Alison Mosshart, Miya Folick, Danielle Ponder, Warpaint and more. Along with the Barnett co-write, Van Etten — who is a sought-after soundtrack song creator — also contributed the tune “Feel Good.” Warpaint’s Stella Mozgawa produced The Buccaneers soundtrack.
“It was a truly incredible experience working with this group of uniquely talented artists,” Mozgawa said. “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.”
