Alabama Shakes have returned with their first new song in a decade. ‘Another Life’, which marks the rock band’s first original track since 2015’s Sound & Color – as well as their debut for new label home Island – is moving and gracefully arranged. Check it out below.
“When I wrote ‘Another Life,’ I was thinking about all the lives we carry,” vocalist and guitarist Brittany Howard said in a statement. “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.”
