Since his rise to fame in the early ’90s, Beck has become something of a music icon. His breakout “lo-fi” sound had an air of lethargy, while revealing a staid, candid glimpse of Americana that no other artist had been able to capture. Beck’s music matured over the years, and the downright cool of his persona, his lyrics, his outfits and his dance moves made him inimitable and unparalleled, and allowed room for artistic spontaneity.
