Johnny Depp\u00a0and\u00a0Jeff Beck\u00a0deliver a searing rendition of John Lennon\u2019s \u201cIsolation\u201d in the new video for their recently released cover of the 1970 song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The clip pairs Depp and Beck\u2019s studio version of the track with footage from what looks like\u00a0one of the concerts\u00a0they played last September, where they first shared their take on \u201cIsolation.\u201d Each time Depp and Beck drop into the song\u2019s heavy chorus, the video starts to fritz with psychedelic effects, which get heavier and heavier until hitting a peak, when Beck dive-bombs into his blistering guitar solo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Depp and Beck\u00a0released their take on \u201cIsolation\u201d in April, marking their first single as a duo after spending the past few years working on music together behind the scenes. While their version of \u201cIsolation\u201d was recorded last year, Beck said in a statement that he and Depp chose to release it early as people continue to self-quarantine amid the coronavirus pandemic: \u201cWe weren\u2019t expecting to release it so soon, but given all the hard days and true \u2018isolation\u2019 that people are going through in these challenging times, we decided now might be the right time to let you all hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
