Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Jack White Releases New Song “Hi-De-Ho” featuring Q-TIP
- American singer-songwriter Jack White will release his upcoming fourth studio album “Fear of the Dawn” on April 8, 2022.
From the album he released a new song “Hi-De-Ho” on March 3, 2022.
He teamed up with American rapper Q-TIP on the track.
The track was written by Jack White, Q-Tip, Kamaal Fareed, Cab Calloway, Buster Harding and Jack Palmer. Produced by Jack White.
The song samples American jazz singer Cab Calloway's 1934 song “Hi-De-Ho”.
“I just heard that Cab Calloway song on the radio in the kitchen one day and I thought, 'I love that song, and it's just so powerful,” Jack White told Rolling Stone. “I said, 'You know what would be great? It'd be great to sample that scatting that Cab Calloway does on there and have that scatting go along with a drumbeat.'” - He continued, “So I sampled it and then just played a drumbeat that seemed to go along with it and then I grabbed a bass and I wrote a bassline for that drum beat and on and on it went. And then pretty soon I thought, 'Man, this is so interesting. I wonder if Q-Tip would find something interesting about this? Five minutes later, [Q-Tip] sent me back his own scatting on top of it. I love synthesizing different moments, different areas of music, different time periods. The best part about it all is everybody I played to kept thinking that Cab Calloway was me. And I thought, 'No, it's obviously not me. Do I actually sound like that?' So that was bizarre.”
Jack White planes to release the fifth studio album “Entering Heaven Alive” on July 22, 2022, following “Fear of the Dawn”. -
