Alright, so I’ve been wanting to do some more music-related artwork for a long time now and this seemed like a perfect opportunity. You may have already heard, but last week Jack White finally released his first two singles from his upcoming third solo studio album and a release date for the record itself. The first track (and subject of this artwork) is titled “Connected By Love” and the other track was “Respect Commander”.
Both are a little bit of a new direction for White. “Connected By Love” features a significant synth part that drives the song, along with some of his signature guitar playing and some gospel backup singers. “Respect Commander” also makes some impressive use of synth and guitar, but is backed by a drum pad rhythm and is completely instrumental up until the halfway break in the song.
Needless to say, I’m pretty excited to see what the album sounds like. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Jack White’s career, from his breakout with the White Stripes, through his continuation with The Dead Weather and the Raconteurs, to his unique solo years as well.
If you’re interested in the music video (or even just the song), check it out here:
