Easily one of the best records this year.
Truly a gem
Was anticipating a Shakes album but I’m overjoyed with Brittany’s new release. We need this music.

What a range... What soulfulness... Simply stunning...

[gingeroxendine]

If Etta James and Smokey Robinson had a love child...

[niceguy]

Oh my, she does it again, with a song that just takes you there

Three years ago a friend rang me up and asked if I wanted to see Alabama Shakes. I had recently bought "Sound & Colour" had become a fan. So we went to the Brixton Academy, a famous music venue in South London. We are both in our late 6os, and he said we must have raised the average age by 20 years! I was blown away. Brittany is one of the best live performers I have seen, and this just adds to that. She must be one of the best singer/songwriters around at the moment. I have this album, and each of the live performances I have seen on YouTube is as good as the version on "Jaime". The video is a real work of art, and she got Terry Crews to star in it! This young woman is going to be a real star.

I fell in love with Alabama Shakes a few years ago and am so excited Brittany is doing her own album! 😍

[nightgirl]

This woman is a mood 🙌, she gives me body chills everytime she sings. ❤❤❤❤

Her voice 😲 I searched for a live performance to see if this was just her voice and it sounds like she's in the studio. It's got this thing about it. I can't put my finger on one thing. But it's smooth, relaxing, unique and just pure gold. Wow!

I saw this for the first time 1/1/2020. I was floored!
From the first time I saw her on Letterman, years ago, I knew her and the "Shakes, " were going to be SMOKING HOT!

My GOD! My chest has still got the butterflies, from last night.

Makes me feel like when I was 17, playing some and singing some Soul and Motown with my black friends, in their bands.

I just don't know what to say. I pray she's around forever!
A tender, pure soul that delivers soulful songs like that, will keep the peace and, keep us all smiling.

Let's pray, no one tries to corrupt this SOUL GODDESS!

I'm a 62 year old, Italian white man, who loves soul and Motown>
I hope that I don't insult anyone by saying this but, I think my favorite soul man Marvin Gay is smiling down on her!

Voice like silk, man. This new record brings me so much joy.

[gpeddino]

Damn, this is better than the album version. Impeccable. And I don't think I've ever seen Brittany so free and enjoying herself so much on stage.

[lequinntessential]

Damn, I've got the chills from watching her emote and breeze through those vocal acrobatics. This song is also magic to the ears, instrumentation and all.

[obe]

Joy to the soul. Her voice wow outer body experience.

[VeganBytes]

Never heard of her before but she has an amazing voice 👏

[Muhdah]

Listening to Brittany Howard helps to get rid of "that ugly thing on" people's faces #phenomalwoman #talentedartist #beautifulvoice

[somosmarketing]

Nate Currently one of the tightest drummers... The fearless fliers... What a band. And great voice Brittany!

[UfodexENMD]

I prefer this live version over the recorded because her voice is so strong here!! Love it 😍

[jasonfree]

Loved that voice since I first heard Alabama Shakes...gdamn she's got some pipes

[Chiize]

Loving this live performance even more than the studio recording. That atmosphere they create is so warm and touching. Could listen to this for hours on end. Just hoping that I'll get to see them somewhere live once this current situation is over for the better.

2:54 This motif has been a constant rewind for me every time I’ve heard this song. Pure raw delivery.
