Ten years after the album Sound & Color (2015), Alabama Shakes release a new song. "Another Life" is released by Island Records. The fact that the band has signed with the label signals that a third album is a strong possibility soon.
Brittany Howard wrote about "Another Life":
When we 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.
