Brittany Howard, the well - loved singer and guitarist of the Grammy - winning Blues & Soul group Alabama Shakes, presents her first solo album, 'Jaime'. This album is a heartfelt tribute to her late sister who passed away from a rare cancer at 13. While working on her memoir, Howard faced and healed from this tragedy. Stepping away from Alabama Shakes, she created a sound distinct from her previous projects. 'Jaime' features a soulful, jazz - inspired sound. Tracks like 'History Repeats' mix marching band drumrolls with breakbeats and funk guitar. 'Georgia' is an organ - and - bass driven ballad, 'Stay High' is a sunny jam with soaring vocals, and '13th Century Metal' has a guest appearance by Jazz pianist Robert Glasper. This record is autobiographical yet not bogged down by melancholy. Pressed on sandstone - colored vinyl, it comes with a printed inner sleeve having full album lyrics, a digital download, and is a limited edition from ATO Records in 2019.
To enjoy this album, simply place the sandstone - colored vinyl on your turntable and start playing. Make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, gently place it back in the printed inner sleeve to protect it from scratches and dust. Store the album in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping. The digital download can be accessed through the instructions provided with the album, usually via a code. Enjoy Brittany Howard's unique musical journey!
