JACK WHITE:
FEAR OF THE DAWN
THE SECRET SEA
CREATURES
After a 4-year break, former
White Stripes frontman Jack White
is back with an almighty bang,
producing not one but two albums
this year.
The first, ‘Fear of the Dawn’
features the soon-to-be, hit single
‘Taking Me Back’ which debuted
in conjunction with a promotional
campaign for video game ‘Call
of Duty’. It also features a catchy
track called ‘Hi-De-Ho’ following
a collaboration with New York
rapper/producer Q-Tip.
The title track ‘Fear of the Dawn’
is going to be the big belter
though; seeing Jack return to his
hard rock heritage with top notch
singing and equal amounts of
guitar shredding.
It is accompanied by a gritty
video, directed by Jack, that is shot
in an edgy black, white and blue
colour palette.
‘Fear of the Dawn’ is scheduled
for release on April 8th – the day
Jack White starts his US tour.
His second summer album,
‘Entering Heaven Alive’ is set to be
released on July 22nd. Little is known
about this release yet other than it
will feature an acoustic version of the
first single ‘Taking Me Back (Gently)’
and ‘Love Is Selfish’ – a track Jack
released earlier this year.
This is a great album as it
features such a diverse and eclectic
mix of music including hip hop and
ballads, while still staying true to
Jack White’s main genre of rock.
The latest book from author Tina
Talbot’s ‘Survival Super Squad’
series of books, is the delightful
story of Taye, the Turtle, who finds
himself lost in polluted waters and
how he helps the sea animals he
meets on his journey.
It ends on a positive note and
gives us hope that our children
will help to protect our planet in
the future.
The Survival Super Squad series
of books are fun, character based,
educational, transitional reads that
aim to encourage children to fall
in love with nature and look after
their environment.
There are five picture books in
the series so far, primarily aimed
at 5 to 9-year-olds, with beautiful
supporting illustrations by Judit
Matthews and Karina Siba.
The other books tell the stories
of ‘The Daring Droplets’ and
‘The Wilful Wildflowers’ teaching
children about the water cycle and
the importance of our wildflowers
respectively.
There are new characters in The
Survival Super Squad to come.
Inspired by the Romantic
movement in English literature
and its affinity with the natural
world, Surrey-based author Tina,
came up with the idea to engage
children in nature. There are new
characters in The Survival Super
Squad to come.
Fun and educational they are
great reads for any child.
Sony Pictures have really
gone to town on the fear factor
with this blood curdling, soonto-be franchise featuring the
Marvel Comics famous anti-hero
Morbius.
The story centres around
biochemist Michael Morbius
(played by ‘Suicide Squad’ actor
Jared Leto) who tries to cure
himself of a rare blood disease.
When the experiment goes
wrong he inadvertently infects
himself with a form of vampirism.
Further trouble ensues when
circumstances lead to Martine,
his fiancée, being transformed
into a vampire too at his hand.
The blockbuster film also stars
‘Good Omens’ Adria Arjona
as his fiancée Martine, former
‘Doctor Who’ actor Matt Smith
as his buddy Loxias Crown and
‘Fast and Furious’ star Tyrese
Gibson as FBI agent Simon
Stroud.
There is also a standout
performance from Oscar winner
Michael Keaton as Vulture, who
was last seen in ‘Spiderman:
Homecoming’
getting
fans
excited for the prospect of
future Spidey crossovers.
Filmed in a dark and
melancholy style, Morbius is
scripted by ‘Dracula Untold’s’
Burk Sharpless ‘The Last Witch
Hunter’s’ Matt Sazama.
Swedish
director
Daniel
Espinosa takes up the help to
direct this fantasy superhero
flick, scheduled for release on
April 1.
