18
Johnny Depp and Jeff Beck have announced a collaborative album called 18.
On 2 June 2022 Beck appeared in the news, after Depp appeared with him at The Sage in Gateshead, following his victory in the high-profile defamation case against his ex-wife Amber Heard. Both also had performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London earlier in the week. Beck and Depp's first single from their collaborative album 18, titled "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr", was announced on 10 June 2022.

Yep, it's true — the guitar god and the polarizing actor have teamed up on an album of rock classics & new originals. And surprise! It's not quite as awful as its cover.

Forget cancel culture, avoid Johnny Depp’s new album because it’s bad.

Beck has always had a unique ability to bring voices to an instrumental like nobody else. This album is no exception. When he does The Beach Boys' “Caroline No," The Miracles' “Ooo Baby Baby" and Marvin Gaye's “What’s Going On,” you can hear those voices conducted through his fingertips. There are some sublime vocals in these songs. They aren’t completely instrumental, but when Jeff Beck plays a song, you’ve already got one vocal going on.
