Jeff Goldblum and Cynthia Erivo drop first 7-inch vinyl of two joint singles
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actor and musician Jeff Goldblum has announced the release of his two collaborative singles with acclaimed performer Cynthia Erivo on a 7-inch vinyl record — marking the very first time the tracks have appeared together in this format. The limited-edition copies are now available to order, Goldblum confirmed via his official Instagram account.
The Announcement
Goldblum shared the news with characteristic enthusiasm, writing: 'Holy Smokes!! @cynthiaerivo and I couldn't resist putting out our two singles together on 7 inch for the very first time. We hope you love them! These are limited edition so order your copy now.' The post underscores both artists' enthusiasm for the physical music format at a time when vinyl has seen a sustained commercial revival globally.
About Jeff Goldblum
Jeff Goldblum is best known for starring in some of the highest-grossing films in Hollywood history, including Jurassic Park and Independence Day, as well as their respective sequels. He made his film acting debut in Death Wish, with early small roles in California Split, Nashville, and Annie Hall. He later gained wider recognition through Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Big Chill, and The Fly. More recently, he has appeared as the Grandmaster in Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) titles such as Thor: Ragnarok, and is set to appear as the Wizard of Oz in Wicked and its sequel Wicked: For Good. A frequent collaborator of director Wes Anderson, Goldblum has featured in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Isle of Dogs, and Asteroid City.
About Cynthia Erivo
Cynthia Erivo is one of entertainment's most decorated performers, having earned an Emmy, a Grammy, a Tony Award, and an Oscar nomination — coming tantalizingly close to the coveted EGOT status. She made her West End debut in the stage musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and her Broadway debut as Celie in the musical revival of The Color Purple. Her work on that production earned her the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, the Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, and a Daytime Emmy Award.
Why This Release Stands Out
The 7-inch vinyl format carries significant cultural weight in the music world — historically associated with debut singles and collector releases. By pressing two collaborative tracks onto a single 7-inch for the first time, Goldblum and Erivo are catering to both nostalgic audiophiles and dedicated fans of each artist. Given the limited-edition nature of the pressing, demand is expected to be high. This release also arrives amid a broader vinyl resurgence, with global vinyl sales hitting multi-decade highs in recent years. The pairing of a jazz-inflected Hollywood actor-musician with a stage-and-screen EGOT contender makes for an unusual but compelling musical collaboration.
