The Black Keys unveil smooth-soloing new single, It Ain't Over

The Black Keys unveil smooth-soloing new single, It Ain't Over

Guitar World report that The Black Keys have released It Ain't Over, the second single from their upcoming 11th studio album, Dropout Boogie.

Written by guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney in tandem with Reigning Sound's Greg Cartwright, the track follows the LP's first single – the bouncy, groove-driven Wild Child – and features a markedly more soulful and relaxed feel and arrangement.

Driven throughout by a brooding bassline over Carney's mid-tempo stick workIt Ain't Over expands in the choruses with expansive synth swells, and features occasional pockets of blues guitar magic, including a fuzz-bathed passage at the 2:10 mark and some loose-time licks from 3:06. Check it out below.

Dropout Boogie is set to arrive via Nonesuch Records on May 13, one day before the 20th anniversary of the band's debut LP, The Big Come Up. It follows last year's Delta Kream, a covers album in which Auerbach and Carney offer new renditions of classics by R. L. Burnside, John Lee Hooker, Big Joe Williams and more.
