Jack White on Working With JAY-Z: “Some of That Stuff I Think Will See the Light of Day”
The Third Man Records founder is set to release his newest album on April 8.
With Jack White set to release his newest album Fear of the Dawn this Friday, he sat down with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 to discuss the album and what it was like working with JAY-Z.
The Third Man Records founder first confirmed the initial rumor that he and Hov did work on something, and opened up about the experience. “That’s true. It’s not me who doesn’t finish stuff so it’s … I’m not that guy. No, I’m just teasing but I’m more … The personality that I got, I’ll be there tomorrow. So it’s different working styles,” White explained. “So some of that stuff I think will see the light of day when those guys aren’t busy with other projects and stuff.”
White also shared that it working with JAY was “fun” and that they learned a lot from each other:
“It’s so different because when I went in the studio with him, there was just one microphone which is … I kind of was, ‘Oh, what? Where are the other microphones?’ But I was like, ‘Oh, wow, okay. Yeah, I guess why would you need another microphone?’ So yeah, it’s different worlds. And so Jay was learning about the way I did it and I was learning about the way he did it. That’s like seeing anybody use a method. And if you see anyone using any method, it’s really, really interesting.”
