Beck releases ‘Saw Lightning’ single

New albumย Hyperspaceย coming at some point in time

Beck has offered fans a glimpse of the future Monday (Apr 15th) in the form of โ€œSaw Lightning,โ€ a stunning new track featuring Beck’s unmistakable raw acoustic slide guitar and harmonica playing. โ€œSaw Lightningโ€ was written and produced by Beck and Pharrell Williams, who contributes drums, keyboards and mumbles.

โ€œSaw Lightningโ€ is available both as a single and as the perfect music to power the new Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats Pro campaign, a high-energy film directed by Grammy Award-winning filmmaker Hiro Murai.

โ€œSaw Lightningโ€ is the first track to be released from Beck’s forthcoming Hyperspace, to be released via Capitol Records at an as yet undetermined point in the space time continuum. In the meantime, Beck fans can tide themselves over with his already prolific 2019 output, including โ€œTarantulaโ€ from Music Inspired by ROMA, โ€œSuper Coolโ€ (featuring Robyn & The Lonely Island) from The LEGO Movie 2, and most recently his feature appearance on Cage The Elephantโ€™s โ€œNight Running.”

Hyperspace will be Beckโ€™s 14th album, following 2017โ€™s Colors, which won Best Alternative Music Album and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical at the 61st GRAMMY Awards earlier this year.
