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?'
Very innovative with her blending of genres. Love how she’s not limited to just southern rock/soul and is willing to push boundaries.
Brittany Howard gave such a positive, high energy show. I’m so glad she’s back touring. Her guitar, dance and performance skills made me smile so big. I didn’t want the show to end.
What a talent!! She can play the guitar great, awesome vocals. Her energy through out the concert was great! The band and backup singers were great!
Saw Brittany Howard Thursday night at Tennessee theater. First time was with Alabama Shakes same venue.Show was totally different more R&B and soul this time still a great show great performance would liked to have heard her jam out more on her guitar.
Thoroughly enjoyed Brittany Howard!! My son and I came to see her and was also pleasantly surprised by “Loraine” as well.
We were just at the Tennesse Theater two nights before and it was great. Two-phase issues during this concert. The opening act was lousy. They opened with dogs barking and whining in the background and we couldn't handle it so we sat in the lobby. When Brittany came out, the sound mix was atrocious. We kept waiting for a soundboard adjustment but it never happened. The vocals were lost and we were frustrated and disappointed. We hung in for five songs and left. I spoke to two managers at the theater before we left and watched others streaming out as well. Brittany is good, but you have to have decent sound to enjoy the experience.
This is not an Alabama Shakes show. She does her own thing and really puts on a show. This girl can sing and her back up band is awesome.
Love her new single, very funky and fun to listen to. Just wish she could still perform with The Shakes.
Saw hear back in 2019 when she was on Jaime tour. Definitely more experimental than Alabama Shakes, but her music still has a soul to it.
Got tickets expecting Alabama Shakes. Got something completely different and left Brittney is incredibly talented, but we all want to have more music from the Shakes!
