Alabama Shakes announce their first album in about 11 years, titled I Must Be Dreaming. The band shares “I Feel Hope Coming” as the latest glimpse of the project. According to reports, the group has returned to public view recently, including a surprise comeback around Christmas 2024, and then followed with new music last year. They released the single “Another Life” and later “American Dream,” building momentum ahead of the album announcement.
Rolling Stone reports the album is scheduled for release on Aug. 28. The new material is presented as part of an optimistic phase for the band, following their last studio album, Sound & Color, released in 2015. The announcement is framed as a continuation of the band’s comeback efforts after an extended period in which lead singer Brittany Howard expanded her profile with solo work. Across sources, the key points remain consistent: Alabama Shakes are preparing to release I Must Be Dreaming and are previewing it with “I Feel Hope Coming.”
