Pope Francis is set to release an album.
AFP reports that the Pope has been called a rock star among religious leaders and soon that will be true literally, with the pontiff out soon with an album. The Pope is the "lead vocalist" on "Wake Up!", which comes out on November 27.
The album features prayers and speeches from the Argentine-born pope, set to newly composed music.
Rolling Stone, the leading US music magazine, premiered a single entitled "Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!" which features a speech in English by Francis on a trip to South Korea. To the pope's voice and the crowd's applause, the song builds on rock guitar and keyboards akin to 1970s rock, as well as trumpets more reminiscent of The Vatican.
"No one who sleeps can sing, dance and rejoice," the pope says on the track.
