“Another Life” was meticulously recorded at the iconic Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville. The band collaborated onc again with producer Shawn Everett, a longtime partner who understands their sonic landscape intimately.
A Song About the Many Lives We Live
Frontwoman Brittany Howard eloquently describes the song’s core message. She explains that “Another Life” explores the multitude of paths we travel – the ones taken, the ones left behind, and the echoes of “what ifs.”
Essentially,the song is a meditation on interconnectedness. It’s about recognizing that every version of yourself exists simultaneously,harmonizing in a continuous,unfolding story. Howard shares her excitement about opening this new chapter for the band, stating that goodbye isn’t final, but rather “I’ll see you later.”
