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?'
Brittany Howard and her musical group were phenomenal. The show started way too late after the doors actually open and venue felt way too cramped for the number of people.
Singer, storyteller, and performer. Brittany is such a talent! This is my third time seeing and the show did not disappoint.
Simply amazing and I'll always support! Each time I leave feeling rejuvenated!
Brittany Howard is flat out great. Add 9:30 club as the venue? Come on! If you get the chance see Brittany.
Brittany Howard’s smooth as scotch voice is seven warmer and more wonderful in person. Great show with supremely skilled musicians.
Brittany and her band we on point from the moment they walked on stage. They did most work from her new release, What Now. Her sound is fresh and uniquely her own. I love her unabashed willingness to be her self and to share it so precisely.
AMAZING! Brittany Howard is probably my favorite artist to see live. She never disappoints. And the 9:30 Club is a great venue.
Phenomenal. Spell binding. Immeasurable power. I’m shook. Love you Brittany!
Brittany Howard is quite an enigmatic artist - ever evolving and full of fire. And, as always, love attending performances at I.M.P. venues; 9:30 still rocks!
Always a stunning show of vocal prowess and exquisite musicianship.
Wow!!!!! What a show…… If you have not had a chance to see her I highly recommend it she is absolutely incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such a killer performance. Her voice is outer worldly.
Brittany Howard, hands down is one of the best vocalist, I’ve ever heard. The show she puts on, you can’t help but get on your feet and dance!
Brittany Howard blew my mind. Her performance, and that of her entire band was tremendous. Her energy, harmonies, lung power, creativity - it was all on display at the Wilbur. I will ALWAYS but a ticket to see her whenever she comes to Boston- which will be more frequently, I hope.
The acoustics at the Wilbur for this show (and the warn up band), were horrible. There was an echo that overwhelmed the singers. As for Brittany Howard, I was expecting the band to back her up, not the other way around. Most people want to hear her sing, but the music and quality of the acoustic unfortunately drowned her out. Too bad. Otherwise, it was decent.
Years from now, attendees will remember this concert. So much heart and power. Brittany is reminiscent of some of the greats but completely her own.
Brittany has an amazing voice, no doubt: but it felt like she didn’t know she had an audience. She didn’t acknowledge the audience, she didn’t connect with the audience, and her performance was brief and boring. No longer a fan.
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!
