Brittany Howard - What Now

I am so proud and excited to announce the release of my new song “What Now”.  It was written during the pandemic when the question “What now” was on all of our minds.  I think it is a feeling that has continued to the present moment in the world we live in. It is also the title of the new album and I think when you hear it you will understand why I landed on that title…but more on that later.  Thanks to Zac Cockrell, Nate Smith, Paul Horton, and Lloyd Buchanan for crushing it as always and to Shawn Everett for being my partner in crime.  Love you all.  Thank you for listening and being there for me through/with all my twists and turns.
