Johnny Depp released a new single Thursday, a preview of the album he and Jeff Beck have coming out in mid-July.
“This Is a Song for Ms. Hedy Lamarr” is the first single off the upcoming Beck-Depp release that is billed in a press release as an album mostly of cover songs. It’s one of two Depp-penned tunes on the record, titled “18.”
Depp’s been performing the song live with guitar legend Beck for a couple of years, and the two are touring Europe through July 25. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star mystified fans Wednesday when he posted a photo of Lamarr, the late movie star and inventor, on his Instagram page with the caption “Soon...xxx.” So mystery solved.
