Beck just tweeted new art for a new song titled "Dreams". Hopefully the other, more upbeat record he was talking about around the time Morning Phase dropped in early 2014 is finally upon us. According to the article and a station in Pittsburgh the new track should premiere on Monday.
I'm incredibly stoked to hear upbeat Beck (or any new Beck, really) again so looking forward to Monday.

Hopefully this is for the project that he worked on with Pharrell and other high-caliber collaborators.

A 15 second snippet was just released yesterday. Clearly a strong departure from the Morning Phase sound.

I know I'm going to love this...surprised he has new material out so soon but I'm sure his record company pushed him to get new material out ASAP to capitalize on his big Grammy win

I love the ~3:00 breakdown. This song is an awesome first listen, but I'm sure it will grow on me with future listens.

This is great. It sort of has that sound that it's fit for commercials of certain kinds.

Yes! This song is better than anything from his last album.

I guess this is that project because this was co-produced by Greg Kurstin and co-written with Andrew Wyatt!

Ooh...I like that. A lot. Especially that basswork! I definitely think this has Top 10 potential. Not only is the song great, but his big Grammy win has introduced Beck to a younger audience (especially with all the Kanye "respect the artistry" crap).

Beck singles have been hit or miss for me since the 90s, but this is one I definitely can dig. I hope it does decently. Has he really not had a single hit the Top 40 since "Blue Moon?"

I think he only released one other single off of Morning Phase, "Heart Is A Drum", which muddled around in the 30s on AAA (eventually peaked at #26) and didn't chart on Alt, so no Top 40s since Blue Moon isn't too bad. I think this song has a much better chance at Alternative success than anything from Morning Phase. |

A part of it sounds like MGMT's "Electric Feel" and it's great.

Seems we all agree Beck has a future hit on his hands.  Finally. Back in form. I wouldn't mind seeing some Beck in Alt top 10. More of that Alt sound and less of that, whatever he tried last round. Download? Check. |

Wow, really great start! Perhaps this even could outdo "Blue Moon"?

^Blue Moon's spin peak was only 359 and #29-31 on Alt, this should shatter that mark if it's over halfway there after only one day. I think this has a shot at a Top 10 peak.

Grammy exposure must have helped him a lot. I wish him the best.

Just hearing this now, really enjoying it! At times, it reminds me of MGMT's "Electric Feel"
