Jack White, the Detroit/Nashville genius behind The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, and The Dead Weather has done some solo stuff, like that song with Alicia Keys in the James Bond movie that was on TV last night.
Now he's (finally) doing a solo album and here is the first song "Love Interruption":

He added that he only got around to recording his own material in his studio in Nashville because an unnamed artist failed to show up for their session. White explained: "A few months ago, we had a session booked and someone didn't show up, so I said, 'I guess we'll do some of my songs'... It kickstarted the whole process."
Jack White explained that most of the songs on the album were written recently, after that first 'accidental' session. He said of his solo songs: "I only had a couple at first… when you're in The Dead Weather, all four of us wrote songs together in the same room, so I would never write songs on my own for that band."
He also explained that when he was in The White Stripes he always felt like he and drummer Meg White were "covering" Jack White songs, adding that he can never think of a song as his own when performing it, and even now he feels like he is playing cover versions of his own material.
Produced by White at his own Third Man Studio in Nashville, 'Love Interrpution' comes backed with non-album B-side 'Machine Gun Silhouette' – which is available for pre-order from JackWhiteIII.com and Thirdmanrecords.com.
The unveiling of the material comes almost a year to the day (February 2, 2011) thatThe White Stripes announced announced they had split up. A statement released by the duo claimed that artistic differences, health issues or a "lack of wanting to continue" were not the reasons for the split.
In the 12 months since the end of the band, White has kept himself busy with collaborations and production work at his Third Man Records label, working withInsane Clown Posse, Tom Jones, US comic Stephen Colbert and rappers Black Milk.

Jack White Announces Solo Album
Listen to first single "Love Interruption" now
By Jenn Pelly on January 30, 2012 at 11:48 a.m.
With the White Stripes officially in the rearview, it's time for Jack White's solo LP. The record is called Blunderbuss and it's out April 24 via Third Man/Columbia, according to his snazzy new website. Listen to low-key first single "Love Interruption" above.
In a press release, White said Blunderbuss is "an album I couldn't have released until now. I've put off making records under my own name for a long time but these songs feel like they could only be presented under my name. These songs were written from scratch, had nothing to do with anyone or anything else but my own expression, my own colors on my own canvas."
The single will be available to purchase digitally tonight. On February 7, Third Man issues it as a 7" backed by non-album cut "Machine Gun Silhouette".
