Details: Lake Street Dive's new album, Obviously, will be released March 2021 on Nonesuch Records. In celebration of the forthcoming record, the group has premiered its new single, "Nobody's Stopping You Now," a letter of encouragement from lead vocalist Rachael Price to her teenage self, co-written with bassist Bridget Kearney.

Making Do, which was released at the end of last year, speaks to the world that future generations are inheriting while exploring the lasting impacts of climate change and our responsibility to address it.

As Price puts it, "You're trying to express your anxieties, your feelings, your sadness, your happiness, all of these things - your authentic state of being in a song. But you're also trying to create something people will listen to over and over again. That's the unique fun thing about music, putting these messages into three and a half minute snippets, dropping whatever truth we can and hoping it's the type of thing that people want to ruminate on."

Obviously was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Mike Elizondo who is best known as a songwriting collaborator for Dr. Dre, Eminem, and 50 Cent and has also served as a record producer for Fiona Apple, Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, and 21 Pilots, among many others. Utilizing Elizondo's hip-hop record-making expertise coupled with the permanent addition of keyboardist Akie Bermiss, Lake Street Dive's wide-ranging taste in pop, rock, R&B, and jazz have blended together to make an impressively cohesive sound, combining retro influences with a contemporary attitude.

We've been a band for so long that we didn't want to just become a feedback loop of our own ideas, recounts Kearney. "It felt like a really good time to bring another person like Mike [Elizondo], and he really opened us up. He encouraged us to make bolder arrangement choices, take those chances and try those things. The record really is a success in what we set out to do: continue to challenge ourselves, continue to grow, and do things we've never done before."
