Beyoncé and Jack White? What a duo.
Jack White recently received a surprise in the form of a bouquet of flowers from Beyoncé. The musician shared a photo on Tuesday of the actual flowers Beyoncé sent him after the release of her album ‘Cowboy Carter.’ The bouquet included a note about how White inspired her new record. The note read:
“Jack, I hope you are well. I just wanted you to know how much you inspired me on this record. Sending you my love.”
White wrote in the description of the picture:
“What a sweet gesture to receive here in Nashville this morning from the talented and gracious Beyonce celebrating her new ‘Cowboy Carter’ album. Much love and respect to you Madam, and thank you kindly. Keep making beautiful and powerful music, nobody sings like you.”
Beyoncé Wanted To Be In A Band With White
While it might seem like this is the first time they’ve connected, it’s actually not.
Beyoncé and White go way back. She brought him on board for her song ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ from the 2016 album ‘Lemonade.’ The duo even co-produced the track together. White talked about their collaboration in a chat with NPR and even revealed Beyoncé’s wish to form a band with him:
“You know, I just talked to her and she said, ‘I wanna be in a band with you.’ I said, ‘Really? Well, I’d love to do something.’ I’ve always loved her voice — I mean, I think she has the kind of soul-singing voice of the days of Betty Davis or Aretha Franklin.”
He also praised her creative process:
“She took just sort of a sketch of a lyrical outline and turned it into the most bodacious, vicious, incredible song. I don’t even know what you’d classify it as — soul, rock and roll, whatever. ‘Don’t Hurt Yourself’ is incredibly intense; I’m so amazed at what she did with it.”
