The song appears on her forthcoming What Now album
Brittany Howard, the five-time Grammy Award-winning powerhouse, shares the third single, “Prove It To You,” off her forthcoming album, What Now – the hotly anticipated second solo album — and first since signing to Island Records — to be released on February 9th.
On “Prove It To You,” Howard delivers a euphoric four-on-the-floor dance track spiked with her explosive guitar work. Working alongside long-time collaborator Shawn Everett (The Killers, Sza, Miley Cyrus, Adele), Brittany originally produced the entire track in Reason Drum Sequencer, her first time using virtual drum machines, and her first time producing a dance track. Once the track took shape, she and her band recreated the song in a live setting for the final production, still capturing the essence of dance music that she originally set out to capture.
“I wanted to write a fun four-on-the-floor dance track that makes you want to dance but at the same time lyrically looked at the complexities of being in a relationship. I love those songs that might not be exactly what they appear to be on the surface,” Howard shares.
The song follows the previously released title track. Throughout its 12 tracks, What Now sees Howard bringing her singular musicality to a shapeshifting sound encompassing everything from psychedelia and dance music to dream-pop and avant-jazz. At turns galvanizing, cathartic, and wildly soul-expanding, the result is a monumental step forward for one of the most essential artists of our time. The project is the long-awaited follow-up to Jaime, Brittany’s massively acclaimed solo debut of 2019, which earned her seven Grammy nominations in four different genres, winning the award for Best Rock Song with “Stay High.”
Brittany was recently announced at this year’s Coachella and Bonnaroo festivals. Howard will also tour in 2024 across the US and Canada, and UK. Her North American tour will kick off with a sold-out show in Chicago on February 6th and continue with stops in New York City, Boston, Toronto, and Washington DC with support from Becca Mancari and will pick up again in April with support from June McDoom.
