Johnny Depp will be releasing his first solo album after "regaining his life" following the defamation trial.

While he is yet to star in a new film or series, Depp started collaborating with Jeff Beck again as he ventured into the music industry.

As part of his projects, the actor will reportedly release his first solo album - a joint one with Beck - with songs mostly composed by Depp himself.

The album, "18," will be released on July 15. Depp and Beck released several songs before the album's arrival, including "This Is A Song For Miss Hedy Lamarr," "Isolation," and "Venus in Furrs."

The other songs are "Midnight Walker," "Death And Resurrection Show," "Time," "Sad Motherfuckin' Parade," "Don't Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)," "Caroline No," "Ooo Baby Baby," "What's Going On," "Let it Be Me," and "Stars."

While Depp started moving forward after the jury ruled in favor of him in his defamation case, it is safe to say that none of these songs is about his estranged wife.


Although the "Pirates of the Caribbean" released a song about a strong woman, it is highly unlikely that the track is even about Heard. Depp, instead, paid tribute to strong women through "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr."

"It's an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother," Depp said, per Billboard.

Meanwhile, Beck said he felt excited as he and Depp were able to reignite their spirit and creativity as musicians.

Johnny Depp's "This is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr" Has a Deeper Meaning

Aside from singing about great women, the song "This is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr" also talked about the downsides of fame.

The track's first verse immediately says: "Erased by the same world who made her a star... The light of her being, her exotic allure / Was torn at the seams for daring to dream / It's so hard to speak when you're frozen in scream... Feels like a dream, but it's life and it's death."

It highlights the negative impact even more through its chorus, in which Depp sings the lyrics. "I don't believe, I can't believe, I won't believe humans anymore." He also seemingly gives a nod to legal battles as a line of the song also goes: "It's so hard to talk when no one will hear, and everyone stares as you quiver in fear."

Fans can hear more from him once he officially drops his and Beck's album next month.
