10 Anticipated Rock Music Albums Coming Out In 2022
10. Jack White - Fear Of The Dawn & Entering Heaven Alive
Jack White might not have released an album since Boarding House Reach in 2018, but he's making up for the four-year gap by dropping not one, but two this year. The first is expected to come in April, the second sometime in July.
So far, we've been teased with three tracks, which exhibit the characteristics of the signature Jack White sound. Taking Me Back is a classic riff-driven number, with fuzzed-out guitar driving the song along. White also released a folk inspired version of the track entitled Taking Me Back (Gently). With some suitably jaunty fiddle work and a touch of honkytonk piano, the sound is less inline with White's garage rock tendencies and more inline with his country sensibilities. Less than two weeks ago, he dropped Love Is Selfish. It's another side of White we know well: an acoustic country ballad which hears him regales us with musings about troubled love.
White has revealed that he's exploring new territory with his current projects, but if these tracks are anything to go by, this is ground he's trodden before... , that's not to say it wont be enjoyable, however. Jack White has an instantly recognisable sound - much loved by rock fans. Even if it's more of the same, people will lap it up.
