Frozen Charlotte, also titled Frozen Charlatan, is the seventh studio album by former White Stripes frontman, Jack White.
Released earlier this month, the album was preceded by three singles, G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs, Derecho Demonico, & Dollar Bill.
Back in April, White released two singles, G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs & Derecho Demonico, and performed them both live on programs including Saturday Night Live.
Frozen Charlotte was first quietly announced by a listing to pre-order the album on Third Man Records website.
It was officially announced the next day, June 10, alongside the release of the third single from the album, Dollar Bill.
The album was released on July 10, 2026. This is the same day a North America tour is set to begin.
Where did Jack White begin though? John Anthony White (né Gillis; born July 9, 1975) is an American musician who was the guitarist and lead vocalist of the rock duo the White Stripes.
He was a key artist of the 2000s indie and garage rock movements, noted for his distinctive musical techniques, eccentricity, and utilization of analog technology. After the White Stripes split up in 2011, he found success with his solo career and business ventures.
White began his career moonlighting in several underground Detroit bands as a drummer and guitarist. He met Meg White in the 1990s, and the two founded the White Stripes in 1997. He co-founded his record label and studio Third Man Records in 2001, the same year that the White Stripes earned international fame with their breakthrough album White Blood Cells. This, along with the three subsequent White Stripes albums released throughout the decade, established White as a key artist of the decade's rock revival. In the latter half of the 2000s, he founded the rock groups the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather, recorded the Bond theme "Another Way to Die" with Alicia Keys (the only duet to perform a Bond theme), and collaborated with numerous artists.
White released his debut studio album Blunderbuss (2012) to strong reviews and sales. His second studio album, Lazaretto (2014), broke the record for most first-week vinyl sales since 1991, holding that record until 2021. His following three experimental albums garnered critical and commercial success. His sixth and seventh albums, No Name (2024) & Frozen Charlotte (2026), are noted for their unique release methods and earned general acclaim.
Other ventures by White include acting in the films Cold Mountain, Coffee and Cigarettes (both 2003), Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), joining the Library of Congress' National Recording Preservation Foundation in 2013, and opening an art exhibit in 2026.
Among several accolades, White has won twelve Grammy Awards. Rolling Stone included him on their 2010 and 2023 lists of the greatest guitarists of all time. The New York Times called White "the coolest, weirdest, and savviest rock star of our time" in 2012.
White was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the White Stripes in 2025.
Till next week, when we jump into Charli XCX's eighth studio album. It's a BIG departure from Brat!
