"Tighten Up" leaked, and was then made into the first single off the album. This is the only Danger Mouse produced track this time around, so it may appeal to the "Attack & Release" crowd. Disliked all but the last minute of the song with the key change for a long time, then suddenly it clicked. Diggin' it.

Later, two more songs leaked - "Next Girl" and "Everlasting Light". This prompted the label to go on a frenzy getting the leaks removed from any and all outlets, with threatening letters/emails/etc.

"Next Girl" has finally been 'embraced' as being okay out there. My gripe about these songs so far is that they seem to have simplified their style, it's way more tame than the riffs of the past...

"Everlasting Light" sees Dan Auerbach belting a falsetto range tune. Love the dark, crawling tone to the song, still 50/50 on the falsetto. No official release yet, but I see it hasn't been pulled from this blog:

Your Third Ear: The Black Keys | "Next Girl" "The Everlasting Light"

Album is out in 3 weeks. Enjoy.
