Beck’s seventh album, Sea Change, signified a dramatic musical shift in sound and tone from its predecessor, the funky, R&B-influenced
Midnite Vultures, and as its title suggested, was a profound transformation. Inspired by the dissolution of a longtime relationship, Beck transformed his sadness into both his most personal and beautiful record to date, trading his trademark sample-filled
songs and impressionistic, irreverent lyrics for pensive melodies, sweeping strings and direct, confessional lyrics. “,” & “Guess I'm Doing Fine” were released as singles with
Rolling Stone’s David Fricke hailing it as “the best album Beck has ever made,” adding it’s his “Blood On The Tracks,”.

Since introducing himself to the world in 1994 with his genre-defying, multi-platinum debut,
Mellow Gold, Beck has blazed a
path into the future while simultaneously foraging through the past.
Throughout his singular career he has utilized all manners and eras of
music, blurring boundaries and shattering expectations with each album.
From the world-tripping atmospherics of 1998's Mutations and the florescent funk of 1999's
Midnite Vultures through the somber reflections of 2002's
Sea Change, 2005's platinum tour de force Guero and 2006's sprawling
The Information, no Beck record has ever sounded like its predecessor.
