Track features Q-Tip
Jack White has released “Hi-De-Ho,” the latest single from the April 8th Fear of the Dawn, the first of two albums due this year by the Detroit rocker. The track is a collaboration with A Tribe Called Quest figurehead and acclaimed artist and producer Q-Tip. The blistering new single is joined by “Queen of the Bees,” featured on White’s second new album of the year, Entering Heaven Alive, which is set for release on July 22nd. A limited edition “Hi-De-Ho” b/w “Queen of the Bees” tri-color 7-inch will be available exclusively at Third Man Records Cass Corridor Detroit on Saturday, April 9th in celebration of both the album’s release and the start of White’s eagerly anticipated Supply Chain Issues Tour.
Fear of the Dawn will be available on CD, vinyl, newly announced CD box set with exclusive t-shirt and sticker sheet, and limited edition cassette. In addition to the standard black vinyl version, five limited edition vinyl variants have been announced. A midnight blue vinyl with a screen-printed jacket will be available to Third Man Records Vault Members in the Vault Novelties store, astronomical blue vinyl at select independent record stores, moon glow white vinyl at Target, and a split moon glow white & astronomical blue LP with an 11”x11” screen printed poster, and Third Man Records compilation CD at Rough Trade Records. An exclusive slip mat is also available with the album only at Urban Outfitters.
As noted, Fear of the Dawn will be followed this summer by Entering Heaven Alive this summer. Complete details on digital pre-orders and vinyl variants will be announced soon.
White recently announced the first dates of The Supply Chain Issues Tour, with shows in North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. Produced by Live Nation, the tour – which features White’s first headline shows in four years – begins with two sold out Fear of the Dawn album release shows, set for April 8th and 9th at Detroit’s Masonic Temple Theatre, and then continues through late August. A limited number of VIP packages will be available for each show. To celebrate the release of “Hi-De-Ho” and the two upcoming albums, through March 10th, a limited amount of $33 tickets will be available for most North American headline shows, while supplies last.
