Jack White (formerly of The White Stripes) has gone solo with his latest effort Blunderbuss. And now he’s teamed up with Hype Williams (!!!) to bring us the video for his latest single, Freedom At 21. It’s everything you expect from Hype Williams (i.e. video vixens are heavy in the building) and Jack White doesn’t disappoint either. With vibrant, pulsating visuals behind him he simply, rocks. Checkie out inside!
Jack White: Freedom At 21
Uh. Yeah. That was kind of awesome! Hella flashy, which is what we can always expect from Hype but still really well-done I think. Those guitar solos were absolutely bananas! And I can see now why he enlisted Hype to direct the video; the song is pure rock but still has a hip-hop vibe to it. I think I’m in love.
Any Jack White fans in the building? I can’t claim to have followed him closely, and for that, I’m disappointed in myself. But I’ve always lurved his singles and the fact that he scares me a little bit makes me think he’s got something worth checking out, lol.
And since I’m all about getting to know him better, let’s check out the video he released a lil while back for Sixteen Saltines. It’s um, a little different from the Hype Williams vid.
Um, ok, I guess we’re having a Jack White fest. Ya’ll have to bear with me because I seem to be falling in lurve as I type. How am I just now watching this video?!
I LOVE Jack White! Everything the man touches is amazing in my opinion. I can NOT wait to see him in August at Red Rocks here in Denver!!
Angie, I can’t believe I’m just beginning a relationship with him, lol. How awesome that you’re going to a concert?!
Jack White is amazing!! I like the new song but not a fan of his videos in general.
Shannon if you want to learn more, you should check him out in The Raconteurs. We saw them live after the 2006 album at Jazz Fest. They were even better live! You probably know some of those songs too.
T, thanks for the suggestion. I heard a lot of good things about The Raconteurs (through Paste Magazine); I’m getting my research on!
His record is wonderful. You must listen to the whole thing.
Jack White is a genius; I always enjoy his art work in every medium.
He is so creative and original… and quite sexy [:
Gawd I love him. I love everything he’s ever done, hardcore fangirl here. I love, too, how he’s just got his fingers in everything. Videos with Hype, music with Loretta Lynn and Wanda Jackson, a new album aflame, he’s fantastic.
I’m with Aimee! Harcore FANatic for Jack White. Brilliant, Talented, Sexy, Fearless. Everything he does is genius. *le sigh*
