Valerie June Has ‘Sweet Things Just For You’ With Norah Jones & M. Ward

Valerie June shared a new single, “Sweet Things Just For You,” which appears on her forthcoming album, Owls, Omens, And Oracles. The track features contributions from Norah Jones and the album’s producer, M. Ward.

June will release Owls, Omens, And Oracles on April 11 through Concord Records. The Blind Boys of Alabama are among the contributors to the 14-track effort.

“Sweet Things Just For You” features Ward on guitars and Jones joining June on vocals. Regarding the song, June stated:

“In a time when wellness and self-improvement have become a $4.5 trillion-dollar industry, many of us are hungry for a more profound spiritual solution for sustainable change. The truth is wellness cannot be purchased at our local health-food store. Wellness and mindfulness are actions. It is how we relate to one another, nature and our environment.

“Whether we are singing a song, sharing our art, waiting tables, cleaning houses, writing policies, cuddling loved ones, or building bridges, how do we show up for each other with the spirit of sweetness in every move? We spend our whole lives toiling, and what is the spirit of our service? Though it seems easy, I’ve found it to be super challenging to practice sweetness, especially when we are facing the hurdles of the modern world.

“So, what does it take to recognize our superpowers and activate them for good? What sweet things can you do for someone else today?”

June will embark on the Owls, Omens And Oracles Tour in support of the upcoming release. Stream “Sweet Things Just For You”:
