His 2024 album, <em>No Name<\/em>, marked the shift in sound that was eerily reminiscent of his days in the White Stripes. Fans embraced this return, especially since it aligned with the White Stripes&#8217; induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. White&#8217;s newest album, Frozen Charlotte, is set for release on July 10. It has been preceded by three singles, including &#8220;G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs.&#8221; The track is quite similar musically to his <em>No Name<\/em> single, &#8220;Archbishop Harold Holmes.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"G.O.D.

And The Broken Ribs,&#8221; White subverts the story of Genesis in the bible. Instead of &#8220;in the beginning,&#8221; it&#8217;s the apocalypse. The opening line is a greeting to the Garden of Eden. Initially, it sounds like the beginning of the bible, but takes a dark turn real quick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Welcome to the Garden of Eden \/ There&#8217;s nobody here but me and you<br>So, what we gonna be eatin&#8217;? \/ Microphone check, one, two, one, two<br>Looks like we got a little place to do the \/ Things we need to do now, and it&#8217;ll sound like this&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Reference To Meg White<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Welcome to the end of the world, yeah \/ Nobody left but one boy and one girl and one other<br>But you know we can&#8217;t live like a sister and a brother \/ They&#8217;re gonna make you a mother now&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reimagining places Adam and Eve at the end of the world, rather than the beginning. They&#8217;re referred to as the &#8220;one boy and one girl,&#8221; with the other being God himself. Jack briefly references his former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/songs\/the-white-stripes\" id=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/songs\/the-white-stripes\">White Stripes<\/a> bandmate, Meg White, in the lines, &#8220;<em>But you know we can&#8217;t live like a sister and a brother \/ They&#8217;re gonna make you a mother now<\/em>.&#8221; For a long time, the two pretended to be siblings in the band&#8217;s early years. Ultimately, White is referencing modern society&#8217;s doomsday tendencies in this track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Origin of the Title \u2018Frozen Charlotte&#8217;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The title Frozen Charlotte refers to Victorian-era dolls. Their name comes from the 19th-century American folk ballad &#8220;Fair Charlotte.&#8221; The ballad is about a young woman who refused to wear a heavy coat over her dress while on a sleigh ride to a Winter ball. She froze to death and is often referred to as &#8220;Frozen Charlotte.&#8221; The dolls were often baked into cakes and other party treats. The new album&#8217;s cover features a sculpture created by Jack White himself. Additionally, videos have been posted to social media, with Jack pouring blue paint over the sculpture to create the artwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Leon Neal\/Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, Jack White has returned to his signature blues rock.
