Beck Shares New Song 'Dear Life'
By Jazz Monroe, Amanda Wicks.
Beck has finally detailed his new album Colors: It’s out October 13 via Capitol. The new record marks the follow-up to 2014’s Morning Phase, which took home Album of the Year at the 2015 Grammys. Beck has also shared a new track from Colors. It’s called “Dear Life.” The song follows the previously shared “Dreams,” “Wow,” and “Up All Night.” Watch the “Dear Life” lyric video (directed by Jimmy Turrell, Laura Gorun, and Brook Linder) below. Scroll down for the Colors tracklist and its artwork.
Greg Kurstin and Beck produced the majority of Colors. (Cole M.G.N. and Beck produced “Wow,” and Beck produced “Fix Me” himself.) In a recent interview, Beck said, “These are complex songs all trying to do two or three things at once. It’s not retro and not modern. To get everything to sit together so it doesn’t sound like a huge mess was quite an undertaking.” Earlier this year, he covered Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” for the Danger Mouse-curated soundtrack to Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle.” He goes on tour with U2 next month.
