Brittany Howard has announced news pertaining to her forthcoming album, WHAT NOW, and released its title track today, October 13. Howard produced her new song herself, with co-producer Shawn Everett (SZA and Kacey Musgraves.) There is also a music video for her song, “WHAT NOW,” which has since been uploaded on YouTube.
Howard also discussed the meaning behind her newly-released song: “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.”
The song is a combination of grooves, guitar rifts, and down-to-earth lyrics. In addition to Howard’s announcement of her new album, she has since signed with Island Records and announced a Winter 2024 tour.
