You’ve been married to Jack White for a little more than a year now-I understand that you had an unusual proposal. They were like, “Oh my God-you covered ‘Sail Away.’ That's ridiculous.” And then the chorus came in, and everyone started laughing. But then everyone was listening and nodding, and I could tell they were like, Hmmm… I know I’ve heard this before. But when we went into the studio, everyone was like, “There’s no way-how are we going to make this into a rock song?” And I was like, “Trust me! Just trust me.” When I had my listening meeting with Third Man, I could tell that they thought the same thing. Most people listen to really epic rock songs, but I would listen to Enya’s “Sail Away”, and it would ground me and make me feel happy. It used to be my hype song before going on stage. I don’t think I need to announce a spoiler alert, but let’s just say that amidst all these guitars and drums on your new record, suddenly we have…an Enya song? I feel like an explanation is in order. And in any case, guitars make good accessories to your outfit-you can match your outfit to your guitar. I feel like rock is coming back, but I don’t follow trends. Things go in cycles: In the ’80s, plastic metal went around in a circle and led the way to grunge, and then everything went pop, and then there was a rock revival, and then back to pop again. Is that something that even enters your mind as an artist and a performer? ![]() My wishes will never change, love is kinda sweet. We’ve been hearing about the death of rock and the end of guitars for a while now. I use time to miss you, love is kinda sweet. ![]() When I first moved here, I very much preferred the Detroit scene, because it was more raw, more up my alley. If you were different, Nashville wasn’t the city for you, but it has grown into a much more eclectic place, which is great. When I first moved here, it was very commercial and very, very country-based. ![]() In Nashville there are two worlds: there’s the commercial music world, and then, now that a lot of people have been moving here, there’s a more artistic, outside-the-box scene as well. The Detroit scene is a little bit more experimental, and lends itself a little bit more to unconventional art and thinking outside of the box, doing things that some people might not understand. Both of those cities are legendary for fostering really distinct music scenes, but how do they differ-from the specific kind of music scene to the vibe in general? You’re from Detroit, or outside of Detroit, and you live in Nashville now.
