Eddie Murphy has put out a reggae single and says he has enough songs to release an entire album.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said he decided to put out the single, titled Oh Jah Jah, after a song he released with Snoop Dogg received positive feedback from reggae fans.
But he's not limited to one genre.
"I've recorded all types of stuff over the years," he told the entertainment site.
"I could put out a country album. I could put out a jazz album.
"I cover the total landscape of music, all different types of sounds."
Murphy says he was inspired by news events, including beheadings by jihadist group Islamic State and the Ebola outbreak, when writing the song.
He says music helps him express his true self.
"If I'm doing comedy, that's not me," Murphy said.
"But with my music, I express myself in this whole other way.
"I'm a funny dude, but when I'm not being funny, I'm in the studio."
