The Profile

Beck Hansen is an American singer-songwriter known for an eclectic catalog that blends alternative rock, folk, hip-hop and pop, with sharply different styles from album to album.

Publicly known as Beck (born Bek David Campbell, professionally Beck Hansen), he emerged in the early 1990s and became widely known after the 1994 single “Loser.”

Across 19 reviews, Beck is portrayed as an eclectic, genre-splicing songwriter whose peaks are often tied to bold reinvention. “Odelay” is hailed as foundational and wildly innovative, while “Sea Change” is repeatedly framed as a heartbreaking folk masterpiece. Later records like “Guero,” “The Information,” “Modern Guilt,” and “Colors” split opinion between “highly entertaining” and “discontinuous” or “non-essential.”

Notable Quotes

❝ In conclusion, “Odelay” is a fundamental album for rock music in the ’90s and, in general, a model to follow when it comes to the ability to reinvent musical genres, blending them together in a unique and unrepeatable way.
❝ A melancholic cloud hangs over Sea Change.
❝ If one thing is certain, it's that the blond sprite from LA is not in a creativity crisis.
❝ In short, nothing new under the sun.
