Beck: Sea Change
built 231 days ago
In 2002, Beck released Sea Change, which, like Mutations, was produced by Nigel Godrich. It became Beck's first US Top 10 album, reaching #8. The album ... received critical acclaim, earning five stars from Rolling Stone (the magazine's highest rating) and placing second in the Pazz & Jop Critics Poll for 2002. Sea Change was conceptualized around one unifying theme: the end of a relationship. The album featured string arrangements by Beck's father, David Campbell, and a sonically dense mix reminiscent of Mutations. Although some radio singles were released, no commercial singles were made available to the public.

Beck mixed folk, blues and hip-hop into a crowd-pleasing sound that made him one of the hotter pop musicians of the 1990s. His 1993 single Loser was an alternative radio hit, and a few years later he scored his first gold record with Odelay. That 1996 album won him a Grammy for Best Alternative Music Performance and ... made him a big-time star; he soon won Best Artist awards from publications as diverse as Spin and Seventeen. His album Midnight Vultures was nominated for a 2000 Grammy as Record of the Year. His other albums include Sea Change (2002), Guero (2005) and The Information (2006).

Always inventive and wide-ranging, Beck's music freely combines rock, hip hop, R&B and folk. Beck first rocketed to fame in the mid-'90s with his debut album Mellow Gold and the hit single "Loser," which combines folk-style guitars and clever, surreal lyrics with hip-hop beats. Beck recorded his official follow-up, Odelay, with famed producers the Dust Brothers, and the album took two GRAMMY Awards®, including Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for the song "Where It's At." Odelay was followed by the low-key Mutations in 1998, which won Beck a third GRAMMY®. A funk and R&B-flavored album, Midnite Vultures, appeared in 1999 and, in 2002, Beck released the folk-oriented Sea Change. The Dust Brothers returned to produce Beck's 2005 release, Guero, featuring the songs "E-Pro" and "Girl."
