With five Grammy wins and sixteen nominations, Brittany Howard follows up her massively acclaimed solo debut�Jaime�with the new single "What Now" and teases what is to come from her upcoming album of the same name. Like Jaime (whose celebratory single "Stay High" earned a Grammy for Best Rock Song),�What Now�finds Howard once again taking the helm as producer and working closely with longtime collaborator engineer/co-producer/co-mixer Shawn Everett. The album emerged through a deliberately free-flowing process, with Howard doubling down on the unfettered creativity that's long defined her work. "I don't ever plan too deeply, but usually I show up with the songs almost fully formed," she says. "There was a lot of exploring sounds on the spot, and trusting that the right thing would come to us."
"What Now" takes on a potent urgency fueled by its syncopated grooves, blistering guitar riffs, and fiercely honest lyrics ("I've been making plans that don't include you anymore/My heart wants to stay but I don't know what for"). "'What Now' is maybe the truest and bluest of all the songs," says Howard. "It's never my design to hurt anyone's feelings, but I needed to say what was on my mind without editing myself. I like how it's a song that makes you want to dance, but at the same time the lyrics are brutal."
There's a double meaning to the title of What Now. "With the world we're living in now, it feels like we're all just trying to hang onto our souls," says the Nashville-based musician and frontwoman for four-time Grammy Award-winning Alabama Shakes. "Everything seems to be getting more extreme and everyone keeps wondering, 'What now? What's next?'
Fantastic show from beginning to end. The set was a gorgeous, the band was tight and Brittany commanded a crowd with such exuberance and authenticity that you couldn’t help but smile and sing along. Musicianship and vocals were incredibly on point and you could tell everybody was having a good time on stage. My one complaint is something I only have after such a killer show... keep playing!
I downloaded her new album on Spotify before the concert. I liked it. Brittany's live performance though!!!! That voice of hers is spectacular!! Her moves so incredibly lively! The energy that came from Brittany completely pumped up the audience. It was an amazing, high energy, feel good show. Her music is hard hitting. There are uncomfortable topics in some of the music. Brittany's performance couldn't have been better. Some bands are really good on their albums but totally out of this world in the liver performance. Brittany is one of those for me. Her band and back up singers are also stellar. Couldn't have been better.
Fabulous welcoming presence from Brittany and the band. Super tight band and singers. Thank You !!!!
What an exciting voice! So much care put into the show! Drummer was amazing, guitar player.....soooo good
