Stuart Maconie presents a portrait of American singer/songwriter Beck (Beck Hansen), who in 1994 emerged as a quirky and influential performer rooted in pop, funk, soul, Latin, hip-hop and folk traditions with a nod to the likes of Bob Dylan, Captain Beefheart and Woody Guthrie. In anticipation of his new album, this profile recalls his singular recordings, including Loser, Devil's Haircut, Where It's At and The New Pollution.
