Brittany Howard
What Now
80--100点相当
The Observer が満点
Alabama Shakes 的な曲と、
そうでない曲の半々くらい？
人物が動くPV系のソロらしさが出ている曲は
好みではないかな。
前作が好みもあり、非常に良かっただけに
ちょっと個人的には残念な印象。

A decade on, Howard’s reputation will only have strengthened. When Alabama Shakes went on hiatus in 2018 – two years after their critically acclaimed second album ‘Sound & Color’ – Howard focused on her solo career. 2019’s ‘Jaime’ was dedicated to her late sister of the same name, who died as a teenager. While she pushed into new spaces – spoken-word, cosmic-jazz and heavy-rock on ‘13th Century Metal’ alone – it was the bluesy-rock approach on ‘Stay High’ that grounded her songs and purpose.
Thrillingly, her second solo record ‘What Now’ embraces any and all sonic possibilities and challenges with glee. It’s the type of intent that’s been simmering in Howard’s work previously and now steps into space with confidence to be heard: everything from psych-jazz, electro-funk, soulful house and the occasional rocker gets a look in here. In lesser hands it’s a right old mess, but not in Howard’s.
