Not content being a movie star, student and performance artist, James Franco is now trying his hand at music.
According to Pitchfork, the 127 Hours star has teamed up with a drag-loving performance artist Kalup Linzy as Kalup And Franco, and are releasing an EP.
The idea behind it came when Franco invited Linzy onto the set of soap General Hospital where Franco himself was doing somewhat of a meta-acting gig.
They’ve since been performing caberet style covers and tunes and will release their debut EP Turn It Up on the Dutty Arts label.
The Kalup And Franco debut EP will feature two songs – ‘Rising (Both Sides Now)’ and ‘Turn It Up (So We Can Turn It Out)’ – and were produced by Dutty Arts boss DJ /rupture and Matt Shadetek.
‘Turn It Up’ will be available as a digital download and on 7-inch vinyl on July 12.
