He also collaborated with Lady Gaga on the song “Dancin’ in Circles”, from her 2016 album Joanne. In 2014, Beck collaborated with Sia for the song “Moonquake Lake”, which is featured in the soundtrack for the 2014 Annie film. Beck collaborated on two songs for Childish Gambino’s “Royalty” mixtape in 2012.

The first contemporary music that made a direct connection with Beck was hip hop, which he first heard on Grandmaster Flash records in the early 1980s. Returning to Los Angeles in the early 1990s, he saw his commercial breakthrough with his 1993 single “Loser.” After signing with DGC Records, the song peaked at khelaghor number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as lead single for his third album and major label debut, Mellow Gold (1994). He has musically encompassed folk, funk, soul, hip hop, electronica, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia.

The Information in 2006 was inspired by electro-funk, hip hop, and psychedelia; 2008′s Modern Guilt was inspired by 1960s pop; and 2014′s folk-infused Morning Phase won Album of the Year at the 57th Grammy Awards. He moved to New York City in 1989 and became involved in the city’s anti-folk movement. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Beck gravitated towards hip hop and folk in his teens and began to perform locally at coffeehouses and clubs. He rose to fame in the early 1990s with his experimental and lo-fi style, and became known for creating musical collages of wide-ranging genres.

Guero and The Information (2004–

For the recording of the album, Beck reunited with many of the same musicians with whom he had worked on the critically acclaimed 2002 album Sea Change, and likely because of this, it has been noted that the two albums share a similar mood and genre. In January, Beck released the lead single “Blue Moon” from his twelfth studio album, Morning Phase. Midnite Vultures, Beck’s next studio effort, was originally recorded as a double album, and more than 25 nearly completed songs were left behind. Instead, Beck plucked one song from it—the Odelay album closer “Ramshackle”—and shelved the rest (“Brother” and “Feather In Your Cap” were, however, later released as B-sides). The result—the slide-sampling hip hop track “Loser”—was a one-off experiment that Beck set aside, going back to his folk songs, making his home tapes such as Golden Feelings, and releasing several independent singles. He put his songwriting prowess forward on Song Reader, which was released as a book of sheet music in 2012, and on Morning Phase, which called back to the Sea Change era with its subdued vibes.

Beck David Hansen (born Bek David Campbell; July 8, 1970), known mononymously as Beck, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. All the while, his high-energy live sets became the stuff of Lollapalooza legend, and his eye-catching videos were staples of MTV. On January 22, 2010, Beck appeared on the last episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien as a backup guitarist for a Will Ferrell-led rendition of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” alongside ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons, Ben Harper, and O’Brien himself on guitar.

Because of this unconventional approach, Beck has been described as a postmodern musician. Beyond his work as a performer, Beck acted as the album’s curator, bringing together a diverse collection of artists—including Amon Tobin, Tyondai Braxton, Nosaj Thing, and Memory Tapes—whose work had also been influenced by Glass. In October 2011, it was widely reported that Beck and producer Hector Castillo were collaborating with American composer Philip Glass to produce a remix album of the composer’s works in honor of his 75th birthday. The first song, “Little Hands”, was posted on Beck’s website on November 12, 2009. On September 4, 2009, Beck announced the second Record Club album, Songs of Leonard Cohen.

Retailers initially predicted that the album would not receive much radio support, but they also believed that Beck’s maverick reputation and critical acclaim, in addition to the possibility of multiple Grammy nominations, might offset Sea Change’s noncommercial sound. Beck lapsed into a period of melancholy and introspection, during which he wrote the bleak, acoustic-based tracks later found on Sea Change. In the studio, Beck and producers studied contemporary hip hop and R&B, specifically R. The artist then sought to void his contracts with both record labels, and in turn the labels sued him for breach of contract.

Beck hired the producer Nigel Godrich, who had produced Radiohead’s 1997 album OK Computer. Beck blends country, blues, rap, jazz and rock on Odelay, the result of a year and half of feverish “cutting, pasting, layering, dubbing, and, of course, sampling”. “I can’t tell you how many times I was looking at faces that were looking back at me with complete bewilderment—or just pointing and shaking their heads and laughing—while performing during that period,” he later recalled. Combined with “Loser”‘s wildly popular music video and the world tour, Beck reacted believing the attention could not last, resulting in a status as a “one-hit wonder”. The song also charted in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and throughout Europe. “Loser” quickly ascended the charts in the U.S., reaching a peak of number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and topping the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

As the decade progressed, Beck incorporated ideas borrowed from big-ticket pop, working with producers such as Pharrell Williams and Greg Kurstin on his albums Colors and Hyperspace—but he retained the wide-ranging approach that’s made him one of the alt-rock boom’s most enduring stars. Beck settled into being a pop explorer after that, releasing sterling singles—the sun-dappled “Girl,” the breezy “Gamma Ray,” the stadium-ready “E-Pro”—that anchored hook-filled albums. Beck also appeared as himself in the 2017 film The Circle, giving a musical performance of the song “Dreams”.
