After ten years, Alabama Shakes are back with a new song, “Another Life.”Despite the decade-long hiatus, the track shows the celebrated trio hasn’t lost their knack for heady throwback soul. “Another Life” begins with an atmospheric groove as Brittany Howard pleads for second chances: “Can we try in another life?/I won’t make you cry again.” For the song’s second half, Alabama Shakes follow a thumping bridge into an extended psych-soul outro, Howard’s voice and the guitars wailing in the same anguished register. This song is about those threads and how they stretch across time and space, connecting every version of who we are. At the time the tour was announced, Howard also confirmed that Alabama Shakes had been working on new music with longtime collaborator and producer Shawn Everett. During Alabama Shakes’ hiatus, Howard put out two celebrated solo albums of her own, 2019’s Jaime, and last year’s What Now.
