About

Beck David Hansen (born Bek David Campbell; July 8, 1970), known mononymously as Beck, is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. 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. He has musically encompassed folk, funk, soul, hip-hop, electronica, alternative rock, country, and psychedelia. He has released 15 studio albums, as well as several non-album singles and a book of sheet music.

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 moved to New York City in 1989 and became involved in the city's anti-folk movement. 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 number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and served as the lead single for his third album and major label debut, Mellow Gold (1994). Its follow-up, Odelay (1996), topped critic polls and won several awards. Before his 1996 release, the same year, he played the role of a taxi driver in the US video of Alisha's Attic's single, "I Am, I Feel".

Beck released the country-influenced Mutations in 1998, and the funk-infused Midnite Vultures in 1999. The soft-acoustic Sea Change in 2002 showcased a more serious Beck, and 2005's Guero returned to Odelay's sample-based production. 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, a stylistic and thematic follow-up to Sea Change, won Album of the Year at the 57th Grammy Awards. His 2017 album, Colors, won awards for Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards. His fourteenth studio album, Hyperspace, was released on November 22, 2019. In 2022, Beck was nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

With a pop art collage of musical styles, oblique and ironic lyrics, and postmodern arrangements incorporating samples, drum machines, live instrumentation, and sound effects, Beck has been hailed by critics and the public throughout his musical career as being among the most idiosyncratically creative musicians of the 1990s and 2000s alternative rock. Two of Beck's most popular and acclaimed recordings are Odelay and Sea Change, both of which were ranked on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Beck is a four-time platinum artist; he has collaborated with several artists and contributed to several soundtracks.

Bek David Campbell, dit Beck ou parfois Beck Hansen, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète, producteur et musicien multi-instrumentiste américain, né le 8 juillet 1970 à Los Angeles.

Son style musical mélange des styles aussi variés que la pop, le folk, le rock psychédélique, le hip-hop, la country, le blues, le R'n'B, le funk, le rock indépendant, le noise rock, le rock expérimental, le jazz, le lounge ou la musique latine.

Né à Los Angeles en 1970, Beck s'est d'abord doté d'un style hip-hop et folk en commençant à jouer dans des bars et cafés locaux. Il a déménagé à New York en 1989 et est devenu proche du petit mouvement anti-folk de la ville. Il retourne à Los Angeles au début des années 1990. Son premier single est MTV Makes Me Want to Smoke Crack, mais c'est en 1994, avec le titre Loser qu'il connaît son premier succès international. Il sort dans la même année l'album Mellow Gold, qui inclut Loser. Il sort ensuite un album de blues, puis Odelay, en 1996, qui comprend certains de ses plus grands succès comme Devils Haircut ou Where It's At. L'album devient vite un favori des critiques et se mérite plusieurs récompenses. Le psychédélique Mutations sort en 1998, suivi du très funk Midnite Vultures en 1999. Le calme et acoustique Sea Change en 2002 (influencé par Neil Young et Serge Gainsbourg) montre une face beaucoup plus sérieuse de Beck, tandis que Guero (2005) retourne au style d'Odelay avec une production basée sur les échantillons musicaux. En 2006 vient The Information, qui prend ses sources de l'électro-funk, du hip-hop et du psychédélique; en 2008 Modern Guilt, qui s'inspire de la musique des années 1960 ; et en 2014 vient l'album folk Morning Phase, récompensé du prix Album de l'année lors de la 57e cérémonie des Grammy Awards le 8 février 2015. Son treizième album studio, Colors, un opus pop, sort en octobre 2017 après un long processus de production. En novembre 2019 sort l'album studio Hyperspace en collaboration avec Pharell Williams.

Grâce à un assemblage de styles musicaux, de paroles ironiques et d'arrangements postmodernes incluant des échantillons, des boîtes à rythmes et de l'instrumentation en public, Beck est acclamé par la critique et le public dès les débuts de sa carrière. Certains le considèrent même comme étant un des artistes le plus idiosyncratique et créatif du rock alternatif des années 1990 et 2000. Ses deux albums les plus populaires et primés sont Odelay et Sea Change, tous deux classés dans la liste des 500 plus grands albums de tous les temps du magazine Rolling Stone.

En 2001, Beck a participé à la bande-son du film Moulin Rouge avec une reprise de Diamond Dogs de David Bowie. Il a aussi chanté sur The Vagabond et Don't Be Light, morceaux présents sur l'album de Air, 10 000 Hz Legend. Il participe quelques années plus tard à la BO du film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind de Michel Gondry.
