Jaime is the debut solo studio album from Brittany Howard, released on September 20, 2019, via ATO Records.[7] It has received acclaim from critics[8] and has been nominated for several awards; it was a moderate sales success, appearing on several charts. The album is a mix of several musical styles that reflects intimate events and perspectives in Howard`s life, which she supported with her first solo tour.

Recording
I actually made some music the way I hear it... No-one tells me they don`t like it, no-one says they don`t like this bass part, or this arrangement`s too crazy. It was just up to me to make my own mistakes.

―Brittany Howard on recording Jaime solo[9]
The album is the first solo work from Howard, who has previously recorded with Alabama Shakes. It is dedicated to her sister Jaime,[10] who died of retinoblastoma as a teen.[11] After experiencing writer`s block,[12] Howard put Alabama Shakes on hold to pursue side projects and to have complete control over the recording of Jaime in 2018.[13] She reflected on her life as her 30th birthday approached[14] and decided to record an album that explored her personal history and beliefs. In addition to discussing the death of her sister, the album explores growing up poor,[9] the prejudice that her parents faced as an interracial couple, and her struggle with religious faith.[15] She began recording the songs in a greenhouse in Topanga, California before heading to two Los Angeles-based studios to finalize the album.[9]

Musical style
Jaime has an eclectic style that features elements of synth-rock, blues rock, neo soul, experimental music, psychedelia, soul, gospel, funk, hip hop, contemporary R&B, electronic music, retro-soul, jazz fusion, spoken word, avant-jazz, new age, trap, noise rock, funkadelia, alternative country, power pop, and doo-wop.[1][2][3][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

According to Ann Powers of Slate, the music is a departure from the revivalist rock of Alabama Shakes, instead exploring a cross between jazz, funk, and soul.[25] Writing for Uproxx, Steven Hyden says Howard abandons typical rock-band dynamics in favor of `darker, weirder, groovier, and more psychedelic` sounds, making it difficult to categorize the album simply as rock, R&B, or jazz.[26] On the other hand, Consequence of Sound explicitly classifies Jaime as a synth-rock album.[1] Pitchfork`s Sheldon Pearce also observes synth-rock, although in rapid form among other elements, such as experimental psychedelic funk, old school hip hop breakbeats, and tight jazz sounds reminiscent of D`Angelo`s 2014 album Black Messiah;[19] his colleague Jillian Mapes also compares the work to D`Angelo as well as Prince and The Roots.[12]

`13th Century Metal` is an avant-jazz and spoken word song that dives into `brilliant` noise rock later on.[17][27]

Brittany Amber Howard (born October 2, 1988[4][5]) is an American musician from Athens, Alabama. She rose to prominence in the early 2010s for being the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, and the primary songwriter of Alabama Shakes. Her work with Alabama Shakes garnered her four Grammy Awards (including Best Alternative Music Album) from nine nominations. Later in the decade, Howard played bass in the side project Thunderbitch as well as both acoustic guitar and double bass for the trio Bermuda Triangle.[6]

In 2018, Alabama Shakes announced they were going on hiatus. After the announcement, Howard released her debut studio album as a solo artist, Jaime, in 2019. The album received critical acclaim and earned her seven Grammy nominations, winning Best Rock Song for `Stay High`. Its follow-up, What Now, was released in February 2024.
