Brittany Howard – Jaime (CD)
Product Details
Named after her sister, who died of cancer when both girls were teenagers, this album carries a weight that goes far beyond genre or style. Howard has spoken openly about how that loss, along with her experiences of race, identity, and queerness in the American South, shaped every note here. The result is some of the most emotionally unguarded music to come out of the last decade.
Composed and assembled over the course of several years, Jaime is a highly personal album release combining Brittany’s unmistakable voice with peerless, visionary and fearless songwriting. Brittany has constructed an assemblage of songs which bend the framework of what we know from her previous work with Alabama Shakes and endeavors with Thunderbitch and Bermuda Triangle, music which wholly sits in a new terrain of sound bolstered by an incredible band of musicians including Zac Cockrell of the Shakes, drummer Nate Smith and the one and only Robert Glasper.
