Sharon Van Etten on singing alone and The Velvet Underground.

BBC Radio 6 Music - Dream Fuel with Arlo Parks, Sharon Van Etten on singing alone and The Velvet Underground.

Arlo shares music that fuels her dreams, with special guest Sharon Van Etten.

Spend an hour with Arlo and the tracks that fuel her dreams. She shares stories and songs with one of her all-time favourites, the artist and musician Sharon Van Etten.

Spend an hour with Arlo as she shares the songs and stories that move her. She’s called it Dream Fuel - an audio tapestry of tracks, poems, personal voice notes, field recordings and special guests. 

In this episode, Arlo takes joy in perfect melodies, musical gifts from faraway friends and wistful bangers found on late night internet dives. With gems from Cryogeyser, Molly Payton, Loraine James and Orion Sun. 

In the second half of the show she exchanges tracks with her special guest, the musician and artist Sharon Van Etten. They open up about singing loudly when you’re alone, listening to demos with lovers and the joy of walking the streets of New York. 

Arlo Parks is a London born singer-songwriter and poet, who came onto the music scene back in 2019. Her debut album, Collapsed in Sunbeams, won the 2021 Mercury Prize, and in the same year she won Best New Artist at the Brit Awards.
