Beck Releases First New Album in Seven Years

Beck has released his first new album after an interval of seven years. The opening track of the album is titled Ride Lonesome. This opening track returns to the folk-rock style seen on previous albums such as Sea Change from 2002 and Morning Phase from 2014. Additionally, it is stated that every song included on the Ride Lonesome album stands out on its own.

The new release features several distinct songs. In the track titled Run Away, Beck sings the lyrics there's nothing left to say on desolation day. The song In the Night features a fragile acoustic melody, strings, and lyrics concerning darkness. Furthermore, the track Failed Words works like an old Seventies AM radio piano ballad.

The track Falling Through My Hands is described as a breakup ballad with a melody that is slightly reminiscent of the Radiohead track No Surprises. The track If You Don’t Know What Love Is transforms the Gram Parsons work Wild Horses. Finally, the album concludes with the track Beyond the Light.
