We already had a chance to hear “Connected by Love“ and “Respect Commander” from Jack White’s upcoming album Boarding House Reach, and now there is a third one. White just released his new song, “Corporation,” and got us even more confused.
Again, it is not the Jack White you would expect. The song is heavy on the riffs and squealing guitars but also toys with some unusual additions like bongos. “Corporation” is just another indicator that Boarding House Reach will be more experimental and will represent a new territory for White. Is this a good thing? We don’t know yet, but we do have our fair share of faith in him. You can check out the song below.
The interesting thing about the album is that White recorded it within six days. Initially, he intended to do it in just three days in a New York recording studio, surrounding himself with musicians from different backgrounds including people who played with Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar. Then, he took three more days in a studio in Los Angeles, this time with a different group of musicians, who also added their touch to the record. After those two sessions, White took upon himself to edit the tracks and add new elements.
Jack White will release his third solo album on March 23, 2018. He recently spoke about Boarding House Reach with the Rolling Stones and revealed that we should expect a modern record, fitting for 2018. “It almost hurt my feelings to condense some of those songs, but I wanted to make it relatable in 2018,” White said. “The entire record, to me, is incredibly modern. I wanted to take punk, hip-hop and rock & roll, and funnel it all into a 2018 time capsule.”
