]]>The post Brittany Howard Delivers Powerful Cover of Nina Simone’s “Revolution” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Howard and her band absolutely nailed the tune, putting their own spin on the arrangement but keeping the moving vibe of the original. It didn’t matter that they were performing in the empty studio, as the 32-year-old singer completely owned the stage and made sure to project the energy to the viewers at home.
Check out Howard’s rendition of “Revolution” below.
Brittany Howard, known for her work with bands Alabama Shakes and Thunderbitch, released her debut solo album Jamie in late 2019. The record received acclaim from the critics and was praised for “mixing” different music styles and Howard’s lyrics and vocal delivery.
Jamie secured Howard a nomination for Best Alternative Music Album at the upcoming Grammys. At the same time, she was also nominated for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for “Stay High,” Best R&B Performance for “Goat Head,” and Best American Roots Performance for “Short and Sweet.”
Nina Simone wrote “Revolution” with jazz musician Weldon Irvine and released it as a single in 1969 and as part of the album To Love Somebody. The song was written as an answer to The Beatles’ song of the same name, which was released the year before.
Although Simone’s “Revolution” wasn’t a huge success at the time, it has become somewhat of an iconic track in the following decades.

]]>The series of all-star performances will take place at the Hollywood Palladium, five days leading up to the Grammy Awards, starting on January 21st. In addition to Jonas Brothers and Coldplay, Brittany Howard and Brandi Carlile are also expected to perform at this event.
The Citi Sound Vault performance is especially important to Jonas Brothers, who pulled off the most amazing comeback of 2019 and haven’t performed at this venue since they parted ways a decade ago.
“We are so excited to be partnering with Citi and playing at the Palladium after 10 years. This has been one of the most incredible years for us, and being part of this series is such a great culmination of it all,” said the trio in a statement.

]]>The post Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard Releases First Solo Song “History Repeats” appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>In preparation for the big drop, Howard has released the single “History Repeats” from the forthcoming record.
The album is titled Jamie, and it will pay tribute to her late sister, who lost her battle against cancer when the pair were teenagers.
“The title is in memoriam, and she definitely did shape me as a human being,” Howard explained. “But the record is not about her. It’s about me. I’m pretty candid about myself, and who I am and what I believe. Which is why I needed to do it on my own.”
Speaking about the single, Howard explained: “‘History Repeats’ is as much a personal song as it is a song about us as a human species. Our times of success may propel us forward, but our repeating failures hold us back from evolving into harmony.”
