Jack White gets pulled over by sexy traffic cop in "Freedom At 21"

Posted by Kevin Z. Rong Thursday, July 19, 2012

Jack White worked with perhaps his most curious collaborator to date for the just-released video to "Freedom At 21," the latest standout track from the 37-year-old's debut solo album, "Blunderbuss," which was released in April 23, and debuted at No.1 on the Billboard 200. "Freedom at 21," a originally released via helium balloon as a part of a stunt for Record Store Day, was leaked onto the internet on April 14.
The former lead singer of The White Stripes is well-known for hooking up with out-of-the-box collaborators. He's recorded with everyone from Jimmy Page and Alicia Keys to Insane Clown Posse and comedian Stephen Colbert. The eclectic rocker tapped the veteran video director Hype Williams, the man behind some of the most influential hip-hop videos of all time, to helm the clip, and he infuses his dynamic signature style with elements of classic American Grindhouse, resulting in a "pulse pounding" video.
White has pulled the covers off his new blue-toned video for song "Freedom at 21," and it looks like a stylistic homage to grindhouse horror films by way of Jonas Akerlund. The video was shot with a blue hue throughout, matching White's latest wardrobe color of choice following years of red and white outfits in The White Stripes. The video also shows the singer wailing away on a Fender Telecaster as he sings about a woman who misuses her rights and takes advantage of the double standards of society that favor females.
The video begins with White getting into a neon-green car, speeding off and on the run from the law after racking up more than a few traffic violations. White is chased by a sexy female patrol officer and dragged into jail where he meets a seductive woman and after a very intimate moment between them, they break out of the small prison. The video ends with the couple facing a roadblock consisting of a wall of policemen and their cars. As per Williams's style, the camera ticks and editing are stylized and great, and the coloring is remarkable, and it more than fulfills that trifecta.
