Get ready for a musical journey with Beck's upcoming release, a mini-album that's a real treat for the ears! Beck's 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime' is a must-hear for music enthusiasts.
This eight-song collection, set to drop on opaque red vinyl in February, is Beck's first compilation since 2000's 'Stray Cat Blues'. It features a unique blend of covers and original tracks, including two never-before-heard recordings. Get ready to dive into the world of Beck's musical interpretations!
But here's where it gets interesting... the album includes solo acoustic covers of 'Your Cheatin' Heart' by Hank Williams and 'True Love Will Find You In The End' by Daniel Johnston. These intimate renditions showcase Beck's raw talent and offer a fresh perspective on these classic songs. And this is the part most people miss - Beck's original track, 'Ramona', a swoon-worthy addition to the album, was featured in the soundtrack of Edgar Wright's 'Scott Pilgrim Vs The World'.
The title track, a cover of The Korgis' hit, has an intriguing backstory. It first appeared in the Michel Gondry film 'Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind' and has since become one of Beck's most beloved songs. Another cover, 'Can't Help Falling In Love' by Elvis, originally featured in 'Resistance Radio: The Man In The High Castle Album', an imaginative soundtrack to the popular TV show.
One of the album's highlights is the physical release of Beck's version of 'I Only Have Eyes For You' by The Flamingos. This rare gem was originally part of multimedia artist Doug Aitken's 'Song 1' installation, where various artists, including Devendra Banhart, covered the doo-wop track with video projections at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, DC.
Another obscure cover is 'Michelangelo Antonioni', taken from the 2012 album 'A Tribute To Caetano Veloso'. Beck's take on John Lennon's 'Love' is also a relative rarity, first released on the exclusive 'Starbucks Sweetheart 2014' compilation. These tracks offer a glimpse into Beck's diverse musical influences and his ability to put a unique spin on classic songs.
With no major album reissues or career-spanning packages in sight, this release might just be the key to unlocking Beck's musical vault. Let's hope this is the beginning of a new era for Beck fans! 'Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime' is set to drop on February 13, 2026, via EMI. Unfortunately, there's no CD version (at least not yet).
