The song follows his ex-wife Amber Heard’s recent high-profile defamation lawsuit against him, with portions of the lyrics possibly alluding to the court case.

Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck have announced the release of a collaborative album with a self-written song about a 1940s movie star.

The album, titled 18, has two original tracks and several legendary rock covers.

This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr is a song about the actress’s struggles following her rise to prominence.

Lamarr, who was born in Australia, starred in a series of films in the early 1940s, including Tortilla Flat and H.M. Pulham, before turning her attention to technology and helping to develop a radio-jamming device during World War II.

“She was obliterated by the same world that made her famous. Spun out of beauty and caught in its web She is a flawless cocoon woven with gold thread “Depp sings the opening verse.

Regardless of the song’s title, it will undoubtedly be viewed as a reaction to the recent high-profile defamation case brought against him by his ex-wife Amber Heard.

In a single lyric, the actor from Pirates of the Caribbean sings: “It is so difficult to speak when no one is listening. And everyone is staring as you tremble with panic.

The chorus states, “I no longer believe, I cannot believe, and I refuse to believe in humanity.”

During the course of the trial, odious details and allegations about the couple’s relationship were disclosed, with Heard accusing Depp of repeatedly beating her.

The court awarded Depp $15 million last week, including $10 million in compensatory damages and an additional $5 million in punitive damages.

Additionally, Heard was awarded $2 million in her countersuit against Depp.

It kindled our youthful spirit tremendously.

Since the conclusion of the lawsuit, Depp has shared the stage with famous rock guitarist Jeff Beck on his tour of the United Kingdom.

In 2019, while Depp was also performing with Alice Cooper’s supergroup Hollywood Vampires, the pair began recording the album.

Beck said: “When Johnny and I began playing together, our youthfulness and creativity were really stimulated.

“We would joke about feeling 18 again, so that became the title of the record.”

Depp said, “It is a tremendous honour to play and compose music with Jeff, one of the all-time greats, and someone I am now blessed to call my brother.”
