The ‘Hyperspace’ Tour is in support of Beck’s latest album of the same name released back in November 2019. Hyperspace is his fourteenth studio album, following the success of 2017’s heavily pop-oriented Colors. Primarily produced by the singer himself and pop mastermind Pharrell Williams, the LP is intended to help Beck “seize the moment” of his Colors era.
The alternative king elaborated how Hyperspace shaped up with NME, “I had a few things after the ‘Colors’ tour finished and I really wanted to seize the moment with this project. There’d been a period of time where Pharrell had been really busy and an opportunity opened up so I went with it. Originally it was going to be a single or an EP, but I think we were both surprised when there was a body of work here.”
The 49-year-old singer also pointed out how Hyperspace, while retaining pop aesthetic in his previous record, experiments with minimalist sounds, which Williams helped him achieve: “I really tried to be less ambitious on the production on these songs, like to let them be simple and let them breathe. Pharrell is a master minimalist. On production I’m a bit of a maximalist – I’m known to have 140 tracks of things trying to coexist and fight to be heard at the same time. I’ve really tried to reform myself to let it be more simple.”
Apart from N.E.R.D’s frontman who helped Beck crafted his another pop perfection, the “Loser” legend invited alternative pop singer Sky Ferreira (“Die Waiting“), Coldplay’s Chris Martin (“Stratosphere“), and musical prodigy from Dublin Terrell Hines (“Hyperspace“) to join force on the record. The album, as well as his previous records, received critical acclaim from music critics with the likes of NME and Rolling Stones.
This July, Beck will return to the UK shores for his latest tour. The ‘Hyperspace’ Tour will be the singer’s first headlining tour in over three years since his tour in support of the Grammy-winning record Morning Phase released in 2014. (He only brought the ‘Colors’ Tour to the UK for music festivals.) There will be four dates in total for the UK leg of the ‘Hyperspace’ Tour. Check out the dates below.
