An accompanying music video for "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr", was released on 9 June 2022. The song was performed by Beck and Depp during their 2022 European tour.[1]
Background
Beck and Depp first met in 2016 and quickly got along very well, forming a close friendship. They started recording music together in 2019 and released their first collaborative single, a cover version of John Lennon's "Isolation" on 11 April 2020.[2] On 9 June 2022, nine days after the verdict in Depp's highly publicised defamation trial against Amber Heard, the duo released the first official single from the album, the song "This Is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamar", which has been described as an ode to Austrian-American actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr.[3] The lyrical content appears to be semi-autobiographical, resonating with Depp's own story and image in the years after his divorce from Amber Heard.[1]
