Jack White "imagines" being capable of writing autobiographical songs but as of the moment, he cannot do it. This is because he finds the practice quick a turn-off in a way.
The 47-year-old musician acknowledges that he "could never" be "literal" about specific periods in his life or compose songs about himself since that would be "too egoistical." While he did not refer to other artists doing so, could he somehow made a hint of what he thinks of Taylor Swift? The songstress is most known for writing stuff about herself - in fact, most of her songs are about her actual experiences in romance.
In an interview with The Sun newspaper, White said, "I wish I could get to a point one day where I am referring to myself in a song. I actually fantasise about that."
But he might be referring to those artists who have yet to make a name for themselves - those showcasing their talents through YouTube and other platforms.
"We see it so often now on social media. Someone will say, 'I wrote this break-up song, and perform it on TikTok or Instagram," he explained.
"I could never be so specific about a specific period in my life. It is too egocentric for me to enjoy.
"I could never be that literal about an exact moment in my life. It's too egotistical for me to feed off," he shared further. "Maybe one day I'll tire of other concepts and get into that," he added.
The former White Stripes frontman did not mean to release two albums in 2022, as 'Fear Of The Dawn' was previously released in April.
However, he found himself writing harsher and lighter tunes, which he separated into two playlists.
The COVID-19 pandemic also provided the 'Icky Thump' hitmaker the opportunity to be prolific with his songwriting, and he acknowledges that he put "pressure" on himself to produce excellent material.
Taylor Swift is claimed to have defeated Jack White in a major contest in 2021. She ascended to the throne of the vinyl kingdom.
According to sales tracker MRC Data, the pop superstar's 2020 album "Evermore" has set a new modern-era vinyl sales record since its debut on vinyl. According to Billboard, the album sold 40,000 copies in its first three days of release, setting a new record for one-week vinyl sales. Swift surpasses the previous record holder, Jack White, whose 2014 single "Lazaretto" sold 40,000 copies in its first week.
it can be remembered how in 2009, while she was just starting out in the industry, Taylor Swift expressed how much she admired Jack White and wanted to work with him. It did not happen but Swift became one of the biggest music stards today, just like White.
I love his style," Swift said at the time. "I love his writing and I think he's an amazing player too, so any kind of collaboration there would be really awesome."
"Entering Heaven Alive" is now available.
