Jack White has said he was amazed by Beyoncé's talent while they collaborated together on a track for her album Lemonade.
The pair worked together on Beyoncé's song Don't Hurt Yourself, and White revealed that they joined forces when Bey told him she wanted to be in a band with him.
"I just talked to her and she said, 'I wanna be in a band with you'. I said, 'Really? Well, I'd love to do something'," White told NPR's All Things Considered.
The White Stripes frontman then gushed about the singer saying "she has the kind of soul singing voice of the days of Betty Davis or Aretha Franklin."
On working with the Drunk In Love hitmaker he said, "She took just sort of a sketch of a lyrical outline and turned it into the most bodacious, vicious, incredible song.
"I don't even know what you'd classify it as – soul, rock and roll, whatever. Don't Hurt Yourself is incredibly intense, I'm so amazed at what she did with it."
White was one of a number of musicians Beyonce enlisted for the album, with Kendrick Lamar, The Weeknd, James Blake and Father John Misty among those also given writing credits.
