Boarding House Reach by Jack White

Boarding House Reach is the third studio album by American rock musician Jack White, released on March 23, 2018 through Third Man Records, Columbia Records, and XL Recordings. It is his first solo studio album in nearly four years, following Lazaretto (2014). After recording independently in Nashville, White also recorded parts of the album throughout 2017 in New York City and Los Angeles. "Connected by Love" was released as the album's lead single on January 10. "Over and Over and Over", and "Ice Station Zebra" were also released as singles afterward. Boarding House Reach received generally positive reviews, with its unorthodox production and style noted as a departure from White's previous studio albums and projects. While critics mainly praised the album for its ambition, experimentalism and artistic approach, its criticisms mainly focused on its inconsistency and production. The album performed well commercially, topping the US Billboard 200 upon release, making it White's third number-one album on that chart. Elsewhere, it was a number-one album in Canada and reached number five in Scotland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
