Jack White, the prolific musician known for his eclectic rock stylings, is back in full album mode. He has just unleashed "Dollar Bill," a fiery new single from his highly anticipated seventh studio album, Frozen Charlotte, set to drop on Friday, July 10.
The track immediately grabs attention with White's raw, shouted vocals: "You can’t control me/Unless you owe me/And you don’t own me/Unless I blow you." This defiant declaration swiftly gives way to an erratic, blues-infused guitar solo, a signature move from the rock maestro. "Dollar Bill" is the third preview from the upcoming record, following the earlier releases "Derecho Demonico" and "G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs."
Frozen Charlotte marks White's first full-length LP since 2024's No Name. That previous album saw an unconventional release, offered exclusively on unmarked vinyl with purchases at select Third Man Records stores in Detroit, London, and Nashville. For Frozen Charlotte, White opted for a slightly less cryptic, though still understated, announcement, quietly launching pre-orders on his official website.
The album's striking artwork, featuring a white-bodied figure with a bold blue skull for a head, is a creation of White himself. He shared the fascinating origin story on Instagram: "An old carnival prize chalkware statue from the 1940’s of a sailor boy falls over in my recording studio and its head breaks off. I grab a nearby blue skull shaker percussion object and glue it in the head’s place. I paint the body white and suddenly an all new character avatar that I called ‘Frozen Charlotte’ came to life."
The evocative title, Frozen Charlotte, also has a rich backstory. White explained it's derived from "a penny doll toy from Victorian times, they were ceramic but could float or have a dress put over, recalling an old folk song about a girl who froze to death from not dressing properly in the winter." Fans eager to see White's artistic endeavors beyond music can view these crafted pieces at the "These Thoughts May Disappear" exhibition at the Newport Street Gallery in London, running through September.
