ARCHBISHOP HAROLD HOLMES

Jack White ha pubblicato il video musicale del singolo di successo “Archbishop Harold Holmes” dall’album No Name, interpretato dal leggendario uomo del rinascimento John C. Reilly in una feroce e vibrante interpretazione dell’omonimo personaggio religioso, appassionato e megalomane.

Jack White – Archbishop Harold Holmes (Official Video)

Sull’onda del successo dell’album di debutto di Reilly, What’s Not To Love?, pubblicato con il suo acclamato alter ego Mister Romantic, l’idea è nata quando John, amico di lunga data e fan di Jack, ha ascoltato per la prima volta “Archbishop Harold Holmes“.

Dopo aver ascoltato il brano, Reilly ha detto a White quanto gli sarebbe piaciuto interpretare Holmes in un video musicale. White ha subito accettato, concedendo a Reilly e al regista Gilbert Trejo completa libertà creativa per realizzare la loro visione e sorprenderlo con il risultato.

Il video, girato in una chiesa di Los Angeles, presenta un cast d’eccezione che include Sami Perez dei Cherry Glazer, la modella/volto di YSL Beauty e frontwoman dei Paranoyds Staz Lindes, Misha Lindes dei Sadgirl, Arrow de Wilde degli Starcrawler e altri ancora.

L’album più recente di White, No Name del 2024, è ora disponibile tramite Third Man Records. La celebre raccolta è stata premiata con una nomination ai GRAMMY® Award 2025 come “Best Rock Album” – la 34esima nomination della carriera solista di White e la 46esima in totale, con 16 vittorie complessive ai GRAMMY® Award.

Fedele alle sue radici DIY, Jack White ha registrato No Name nel suo Third Man Studio tra il 2023 e il 2024, lo ha stampato alla Third Man Pressing, lo ha pubblicato tramite Third Man Records e ha celebrato la sua uscita con spettacoli a sorpresa e date pop-up sold-out in tutto il mondo prima di lanciare il No Name Tour e commemorarlo con l’EP Live No Name.

White torna on the road quest’estate per esibizioni da headliner a festival come il Back Cove Music & Arts Festival di Portland, ME (3 agosto), il Bourbon & Beyond di Louisville, KY (13 settembre), il Riot Fest di Chicago, IL (20 settembre) e il CBGB Festival di Brooklyn, NY (27 settembre).

Testo ARCHBISHOP HAROLD HOLMES

Dear friend, if you wanna feel better
Don’t let the devil make you toss this letter
If you’ve been crossed up by hoodoo voodoo
A wizard or the lizard

You got family trouble, man trouble, woman trouble
No light through the tunnel
If you’re lookin’ for a true friend, or a true lover
Or if you’ve been livin’ undercover

Well, I’m comin’ to your town to break it all down
And help you with all of this
I’m lookin’ to help you find bliss one day
Or one way, can’t miss

I’m here to tear all the walls down
Doesn’t matter if it’s a large town or a small town
Just like Joshua and the fabled walls of Jericho
I’m here to tear down the institution

God spoke to me, said, “Listen to me
I anoint you with the power that’ll get ‘em all movin’”
You’re agitated, you’ve prayed, and meditated
You’re concentrated on gettin’ elevated

By sundown Monday
You who come will be blessed with a big money blessing
You will be doubted by all the unbelievers
And all the friends I’m addressin’

But you must tell seven friends
You must first bring seven friends
And don’t be selfish and keep this all to yourself
And don’t eat shellfish
Hate is trying to take someone else’s love for yourself
But I’m here to tell you that love is trying to help someone else

I realize that you have tried and tried
And are just about ready to give up
But I got good news for you
God has spoken to my mind and told me to
Tell you to get moving in the right direction for a change
I’m gonna put you in the fast lane

You need to see me right away so I can fix this, ah
You need to see me right away
You need to see me right away so I can fix this, ah
You need to see me right about now

God of Seven, open up the windows of Heaven
And pour out a rich and mighty blessing
Not on his town or her town, but your town
Are you ready for the message?

I have a special financial blessing that
Once I have placed in your hand
Yeah, I want you to begin using this blessing
On the very first day that you can

And if you are suffering a strange sickness, ah
Or someone is blocking up all of your success, ah
You need to see me right away so I can fix this, ah

Signed, sincerely yours in faith, love, and peace
Your friend, Archbishop Harold Holmes
