Yep, that’s right: Oscar-nominated actor James Franco also makes music (in fact, he also writes, he’s a bit of an all-round dark horse). Though, it’s probably quite unfair to just pin this EP on Franco, since it is probably his partner in crime, avant-garde musician and performance artist Kalup Linzy who is bringing the majority of musical ideas to the table. The pair originally met way back when James Franco was still a regular on “General Hospital.”
The duo will release an EP entitled Turn It Up on July 12th. The EP will feature three tracks, all of which will have a video, and they promise to bring many more well-known faces into the project for those.
