Is Eddie Murphy ready to “Party All The Time” again?
The Academy-Award-nominated actor was widely panned for his attempts to cross over into the music industry back in the 80s and early 90s, but that hasn’t stopped him from trying.
He has a new reggae-influenced single out called “Redlight,” which features Snoop Lion (a.ka. Snoop Dogg), and a low-budget music video featuring the Norbit star and the rapper which has debuted on YouTube.
While Murphy’s career in music initially started with a bang, it quickly petered out. His last album, Love’s Alright, was released 20 years ago and featured the unintentional camp classic “Whatsupwitu,” a duet with Michael Jackson.
Despite a critically-acclaimed, popular performance in the 2006 musical Dreamgirls, in which Murphy sang his own vocals, few of his fans expected him to make a foray into music.
Check out the video above and let us know, can Murphy make a comeback as a musician?
