Alabama Shakes Share First New Song In 10 Years Another Life

Written by Jon Stickler
Alabama Shakes have returned with their first new song in 10 years.
With Brittany Howard's powerhouse vocals channelling '60s soul, evoking the energy of Janis Joplin and Otis Redding, Another Life marks the blues-rock trio's debut for their new label home Island Records, and their first original track since their 2015 album 'Sound & Color'. In a statement, Howard shared:
"When I wrote Another Life, I was thinking about all the lives we carry. The ones we're living right now, the ones that slipped away because of different choices, the what ifs, the what wasn't meant to be, the goodbyes, and the chance encounters that feel divine. This song is about those threads and how they stretch across time and space, connecting every version of who we are. It’s about letting them come together, letting them harmonize, and realizing that goodbye isn’t really goodbye. It’s more like I’ll see you later. A collective story that never stops unfolding. I’m glad we opened this door into this reality of us making music together again."
The song arrives amid the band's first tour in eight years, which continues with a performance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Thursday (September 4). Tickets are on sale now.
Since their last album, they released a 10th anniversary deluxe edition of their debut LP, 'Boys & Girls', in 2022. Howard has also dropped two solo albums: 2024's Grammy-nominated 'What Now' and 2019's 'Jaime', the latter of which was followed by a reimagined version in 2021. She has also contributed to the soundtracks of the Netflix original animated film Thelma the Unicorn and Ethan Coen's Honey Don't!.
