Emotion & Commotion is due out next Tuesday, 4/13, yet the album leaked 2 weeks ago — hardly a surprise for a big label (Rhino) release like this. Emotion is Beck’s first album since 2003’s appropriately-titled Jeff and features a guest vocal from Joss Stone, who also happens to be English. Emotion was recorded at London’s Sarm Studios with award-winning producers Steve Lipson (Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, Jordin Sparks) and Trevor Horn (the dorky lead singer from The Buggles).
Despite the soaring Eagle on the cover, Emotion & Commotion is most certainly a British album. That is to be expected from a Brit guitarist working with a Brit singer and two Brit producers. Either way, it is sure to be a grandiose rock album (it better be with that album art) from one of rock’s most established guitar virtuosos.
