Idris Elba will release his new album, Murdah Loves John, which is inspired by his character Luther from the TV show of the same name. Speaking to FACT he said, "From an actor’s point of view, doing music is very precarious. People are just not willing to accept it. So I decided to keep my music close to what I do for a living, and make music from the perspective of the characters that I play. My first album was 'mi Mandela', which was a perspective on that character and that film. 'Murdah Loves John' is a perspective on my John Luther character. London’s a big character in Luther, and I’m trying very hard to make this album, when you put it in your car, to feel like you’re driving around to a soundtrack that reminds of the UK, and of London especially. I’m going to get a lot of new artists and voices that we haven’t heard before, and bring together a cool album."No word on a release date.
