Nine-time GRAMMY® Award winner and 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Sheryl Crow releases “Evolution,” the title track from her upcoming 11th full-length studio album, Evolution, out on March 29.

The song conveys Crow’s uneasiness about artificial intelligence and its impact on the planet and humanity. Crow comments:

“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.”

She adds:

“I wrote the song with just me on guitar and vocals, sent it to my producer, 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 & Roll Hall of Fame in the same year, and his solo on ‘Evolution’ just ejects you into space.”
