Idris Elba to release debut album based on his 'Luther' role

Idris Elba, who is known for his role of Detective John Luther in BBC series titled 'Luther', is set to release his debut music album inspired by the series.

The 42-year-old actor, who has given the album the working title 'Murder Loves John', asserted that he liked to dissect the idea of someone who had to deal with so much darkness, the BBC reported.

The Brit actor said that Detectives carried a lot of stuff but they have to have an objective perspective on them until proven and that could create some really good songs and definitely an interesting mood, musically.

'The Wire' actor released a five-song EP called 'High Class Problems' Vol 1 in 2010 and an EP earlier called 'Big Man' in 2006.
