<\/div>\n

Brittany Howard<\/a> takes a defiant stand on her new song, \u201c13th Century Metal,\u201d set to appear on the Alabama Shakes<\/a> singer\u2019s upcoming solo debut Jaime<\/em>, out September 20th.<\/p>\n

\u201c13th Century Metal\u201d boasts a restless mix of skittering drums and skipping synths, creating an urgent rhythm that complements Howard\u2019s spoken word lyrics. \u201cEvery day I am alive I am given opportunity to become that which I admire most of others,\u201d she says with growing passion. \u201cI am nonviolent\/I am a master student and my spirit will never be stomped out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with sharing the studio version<\/a> of \u201c13th Century Metal,\u201d Howard also unveiled a live performance video, directed by Danny Clinch, that finds her and her band expanding the song with new sonic textures and dimensions.<\/p>\n

\u201c13th Century Metal\u201d marks the latest offering off Jaime<\/em>, following lead single \u201cStay High,\u201d<\/a> which she paired with a video featuring Terry Crews, and album tracks \u201cHe Loves Me\u201d<\/a> and \u201cHistory Repeats.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Howard recorded Jaime<\/em> with engineer Shawn Everett and a core studio team that included Alabama Shakes bassist Zac Cockrell, keyboardist Robert Glasper and drummer Nate Smith. The LP follows Alabama Shakes\u2019 2015 album, Sound and Color<\/em><\/a>, and the self-titled debut of her side project Thunderbitch<\/a> from the same year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Howard named Jaime<\/em> after her sister, who died at 13 from a form of eye cancer. \u201cShe taught me how to write a song, taught me how to draw, taught me about art,\u201d she told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve always been connected to her spirit. This [album] was kind of my way of doing something together.\u201d<\/p>\n

The vocalist, who is booked for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert<\/em> on September 26th, will promote Jaime<\/em> on a headlining North American tour. The fall trek launches September 18th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and runs through October 13th at the AFROPUNK Festival, followed by a newly announced run that kicks off November 14th in Denver, Colorado and wraps on the 23rd in Oakland, California.<\/span><\/p>\n
