2023 Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Sheryl Crow will release her 11th full-length studio album, Evolution, on March 29.
The lead single from the project, “Alarm Clock,” is out now and was co-written Crow, Mike Elizondo and Emily Weisband. Featuring nine new songs, Evolution was produced by Elizondo and will be released via The Valory Music Co.
Crow had stated she would not release another full-length album after her collaborative album Threads in 2018, so the announcement came as a surprise. Threads featured some newer artists as well as Crow’s friends and heroes, including Willie Nelson, Jason Isbell, Keith Richards and more.
“Everything is more song-oriented now with streaming, and making an album is a huge endeavor,” says Crow. “I started sending just a couple of demos to Mike, but the songs just kept flowing out of me and it was pretty obvious this was going to be an album. This music and these lyrics came from sitting in the quiet and writing from a deep soul place. I said I’d never make another record, thought there was no point to it. But this music comes from my soul. And I hope whoever hears this record can feel that.”
