Sheryl Crow is continuing to tease fans ahead of the release of her new album ‘Evolution’ on 29th March 2024.
Following the release of first single ‘Alarm Clock’, Crow has unveiled the atmospheric title track ‘Evolution’. The song is available to download and stream now, and it explores Crow’s uneasiness about artificial intelligence and its growing presence in the world.
“Stephen Hawking worried that A.I. would replace humans. As a mom, I want to leave a better world for my children, a healthier planet – is A.I. going to be a benevolent partner in these goals or not? It’s unsettling, and this song deals with those anxieties,” says Crow. “I wrote the song with just me on guitar and vocals, sent it to Mike Elizondo and said, this is bigger than me, can you take a crack at it?”
Elizondo’s (Dr. Dre, Maroon 5, Keith Urban, Gary Clark Jr) production on the track brings Crow into new sonic territory, delivering blockbuster cinematics and a monolithic guitar solo by Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello.
“To me, Tom’s playing comes from some other planet,” says Crow. “It’s a cool bit of kismet that we were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the same year, and his solo on “Evolution” just ejects you into space.”
‘Evolution’ features nine new songs and will be released via The Valory Music Group. The track list is:
- Alarm Clock
- Do It Again
- Love Life
- You Can’t Change The Weather
- Evolution
- Where
- Don’t Walk Away
- Broken Record
- Waiting In The Wings
- Digging In The Dirt (Digital Deluxe Only)
