Roaden Polynice
Superstar
I can see where White is heated. Dude is absolutely one of those talisman type talents. Like, he kinda had his wave, put a sound out there in mainstream, the problem is post Stripes (and only really occassionally with Meg) he didn't have the tunes to go with the sound to take him beyond that internationally respected level to international superstar. The Black Keys can write their asses off and he seems salty about it
He also debacled a Bond song when everyone expected him to kill it
He needs an exec producer to unlock some flows for him so he can make the music we all want from him. Everyone wants a soulsy-bluesy pop masterclass from him but he just can't deliver
This is all pretty true, and I don't even like Black Keys like that.
And I've really never felt the need to listen to White's solo shyt ever.
