Eddie Murphy has officially embraced the power of social media to promote his latest foray into music.
After releasing his first reggae-influenced song and music video in July — which also features rapper Snoop Lion — the Oscar-nominated actor joined Twitter on Tuesday and encouraged followers to check it out.
“Listen to Eddie Murphy’s first single #RedLight ft. @SnoopLion. Stay tuned for more info on his upcoming album “9”!” Murphy’s first (and so far, only) tweet read, followed by a link to the song.
In just a day, the actor — whose account has been verified — has attracted over 2,700 followers and he has yet to return the favor with a following count of 0.
Murphy’s twitter bio reads: “Coming soon, Eddie Murphy’s upcoming solo album 9. Listen to the first single Red Light ft. Snoop Lion.”
It has been 20 years since Murphy released his last album, Love’s Alright, and now he is poised to release another with a comeback as a musician.
What do you think of the song and Murphy’s return to music? Tell us below.
