We finally have details on Alabama Shakes’ long-rumored new album. I Must Be Dreaming, their first LP in 11 years, is coming August 28 via Island and will include the already-released tracks “American Dream” and “Another Life.” Below, listen to the album’s latest single, “I Feel Hope Coming,” which the band shared today, July 10.
In a statement, singer Brittany Howard said the album title “has a double meaning to it. It could be saying, ‘I must be dreaming, because the world is so fucking crazy right now.’ But it could also mean, ‘I must be dreaming, because the world is so incredibly beautiful.’ Both those things can be true at once.”
The Shakes (Howard, Heath Fogg, and Zac Cockrell) recorded the follow-up to 2015’s Sound & Color after reuniting for a surprise live set in December 2024. The trio have been touring on and off ever since, including their current trek, which runs through the end of September. Scroll down to check out those dates, along with the I Must Be Dreaming tracklist and cover art.
