Alabama Shakes have announced details of their first album in more than a decade – I Must Be Dreaming, which is released on August 28 via Island Records.
I Must Be Dreaming was written by Brittany Howard, Heath Fogg, and Zac Cockrell after the band reunited in late 2024 and recorded in Nashville at Sound Emporium Studios and Blackbird Studio.
Speaking about the album title, Howard says, “There’s 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 album announcement arrives alongside the announcement of the new single“I Feel Hope Coming”, which is released on Friday, July 10. The track follows the acclaimed singles“Another Life”and“American Dream“.
