White Limousine is the fifth album by American singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik. It was released on Zoë Records in 2006.

Details

The album was more political in nature, particularly in the singles "White Limousine" and "Shopping".^{[citation needed]} The album came with a DVD-ROM which included software allowing the listener to remix tracks from the album. An outgrowth of the effort has been a dedicated website for fans to upload remixes of various songs.^{[citation needed]} While there were at least a dozen fan remixes featured, the website was subsequently deactivated.^{[citation needed]}
