Brittany Howard: What Now [Island]

Brittany Howard What Now

The title of Brittany Howard’s second solo album is double-edged, the Alabama Shakes frontperson said in press materials: “Everything seems to be getting more extreme and everyone keeps wondering, ‘What now? What’s next?’ By the same coin, the only constant on this record is you never know what’s going to happen next: Every song is its own aquarium, its own little miniature world built around whatever I was feeling and thinking at the time.” She introduced the Jaime follow-up with the title track, a “sharply detailed portrait of the singer-songwriter in conflicted contemplation,” as Allison Hussey wrote in her track review.
