Johnny Depp has said that it's “an extraordinary honour to play and write music with Jeff”, who he describes as “one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother.”
“I haven’t had another creative partner like him for ages,” Beck says of Depp. “He was a major force on this record. I just hope people will take him seriously as a musician because it’s a hard thing for some people to accept that Johnny Depp can sing rock and roll.”
18 will be available on CD and digitally, with a 180-gram black vinyl version coming on September 30. The cover features an illustration of Beck and Depp as 18-year-olds that was drawn and designed by Beck’s wife Sandra. All formats are available for pre-save/pre-add, here.
