Beck Issues Anthemic Call to Arms with New Single 'Up All Night'

Beck has issued an anthemic call to arms--and legs--with "Up All Night," the irresistible new single and epic video one-two salvo in advance of his imminent 13th album and "euphoric blast of experimental pop" (ROLLING STONE), Colors - due out October 13 on Capitol Records. In keeping with the life-affirming spirit and groove of the song itself, the sweeping cinematic arc created by Director Canada, Executive Producer Oscar Romagosa and Producer Laura Serra Estorch features a narrative of triumph over hallucinogenic adversity. "Up All Night" tracks its fearless heroine (Solene Rigot) through an increasingly bizarre series of trials as she races against the sun-and at times the very rules of reality-to rescue a fallen friend (Pedro Attenborough).

Having appeared in an earlier incarnation on the EA SPORTS FIFA 17 soundtrack, the buoyant "Up All Night" is the newest advance taste of the most aptly titled work in Beck's storied discography. Beck's first full length offering of new material since 2014's Morning Phase took Album of the Year top honors at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards, Colors unfolds in an intoxicating rainbow of auditory tricks and treats, making it a shoo-in for the summeriest smash of the fall season. Prior to "Up All Night," the album's most recent single was the captivating piano-driven "Dear Life," released August 24 and eliciting Beatles and Beach Boys comparisons from THE NEW YORK TIMES amongst a slew of generation spanning critical raves including:

"'Dear Life' makes good on Beck's promise, with waltzing pianos, a killer guitar riff, and am immediately memorable chorus."--ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"Leave it to Beck to craft a sunny, upbeat pop song that doubles as a scream into the void... the kaleidoscopic new single from his forthcoming album, Colors, has something for partiers and wallflowers alike... when Beck asks on the buoyant chorus about the thrill being gone, the answer is: not yet-not in his career, not in this life-affirming song."--PITCHFORK

"Fans of Beck will have even more to love in the perennial hitmaker's latest... a dark pop-rock sound that hints at influences from everyone from The Beatles to Spoon."--TIME 5 Songs You Need To Listen To This Week
