Weezer's latest album has one foot in the future and one in the past. After the lackluster sales of the previous album, [[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]], the band left Republic Records and joined Crush Music. A new producer was signed, [[Jake Sinclair]], whom the band met during the recording for [[Raditude]], who has confessed he is a big fan of the band. The album has some classic-sounding songs like the [[Pinkerton]] styled [[Do You Wanna Get High?]] and the [[The Blue Album]]-sounding [[L.A. Girlz]]. There are also some new and modern sounding tracks like [[Thank God for Girls]] and [[Jacked Up]]. Rivers stated that he was pushing for the new sound, while Jake wanted more classic style songs. | |||

On October 20, 2015, [[Thank God for Girls]] was played live at a small iHeart Radio show in Burbank, California. This was followed by an official single release on October 26th. A week later, on November 2nd, the song [[Do You Wanna Get High?]] debuted on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show on Apple Music. The song was officially released the following day. In interviews, Rivers insisted that these songs were not part of a new album and that they were just two songs. In January of 2016, [[weezer.com]] became a blank white screen and the band's Facebook and Twitter pages posted blank white pictures. A video was posted to the band's youtube channel that was a white screen with static in the background. On the morning of January 15, the album was announced as The White Album with a release date of April 1 in addition to a new song and video for [[King of the World]]. | On October 20, 2015, [[Thank God for Girls]] was played live at a small iHeart Radio show in Burbank, California.
