Alabama Shakes Reemerge with a Growth-Filled, Genre-Defying Comeback
After more than a decade, Alabama Shakes return with I Must Be Dreaming as a three-piece (Howard, Cockrell, Fogg), delivering a grown-up, genre-blending rock-soul album that ranges from vintage torch-song textures to Afrofuturist-inflected explorations. The collection showcases Howard’s expansive vocals on tracks like Another Life and I Feel Hope Coming while nodding to political and personal themes, signaling a reinvigorated, fearless evolution that stays true to what first drew listeners to the band.
