Brittany Howard (blkfootwhtfoot) reflected on Jaime, the journey that brought her to it & why it marks a rebirth for her
The Alabama Shakes frontwoman pushed herself beyond her musical comfort zone -- and wrote her most personal material yet.threw on a sequined cape and strode out to her spot in the center of the stage of the Beacon Theatre in New York on Tuesday night , she was surrounded by her band, a series of cloth columns that constructed a pantheon of sorts behind her -- and a portrait of a black panther.
In between these exciting projects and her own tours with Alabama Shakes, Howard pursued new adventures and marked major life milestones. She and Lafser got married in 2018, and moved to Taos, N.M.
I know that the two of you went on an eye-opening trip across the country and spent some time in California before you settled in Taos, N.M. You’ve been to the most visually inspiring and enchanting places, but you’ve dealt with some not-so-savory scenes on the road before you sat down to write this. Is this album the product of this journey? Are there certain visual experiences you encountered that left an imprint onThe road trip really inspired me to double-down and do this record.
These last four years since the last Alabama Shakes album have seen tumultuous change in this country, this community. There’s been a lot of terrible shit that we’ve witnessed. Did this album provide an outlet to explore some of that? I’m definitely doing it this way for now. The way I think of it is, if I’m going to set forth on this journey, with my name, I kind of have to leave things in the past and really shoot forth and do my thing and see if I got it, see if I can do it. There’s a lot of songs that I’ve written that I love, and I’m very aware that there are lots of fans that want to hear those songs again.
