Jack White is releasing his first solo album since 2014's Lazaretto later this month. Titled Boarding House Reach, White has previously shared the tracks "Connected by Love," "Respect Commander," and "Corporation." Today, he's shared the killer song "Over and Over and Over." The urgent, high-energy riff-rocker is a song White has attempted to record multiple times, calling it his "white whale." White says of the song, “I chased it and chased it, and finally, all of a sudden, it worked.” Boarding House Reach is out 3/23 on Third Man Records/Columbia.

The Kills are back with their first release since last year's Non-Electric EP, a pair of songs to be released as a new 7-inch single. The one we're hearing today is a cover of Saul Williams' "List of Demands (Reparations)," which Williams blessed. Frontwoman Alison Mosshart calls the song, "...a song of strength and empowerment, rooted in the idea of rising above." The song comes with a video directed by Ben Strebel that sees the duo as well as a troupe of dancers in chains. The B-side of the 7-inch features a cover of Peter Tosh's "Steppin' Razor."
