Mitski, 'I Want You' (Live At SXSW 2016)

By
WNYC | Mar 24, 2016

While "I Want You" is the oldest song Mitski played at our SXSW showcase — it's from her 2013 album, Retired from Sad, New Career in Business — it still holds up next to her current sound. Centered on the emotional intensity of her voice and cutting lyrics, it has all the hallmarks of what make Mitski's songs so memorable.
