Mr. Beck teased us by letting us hear “Cell Phone’s Dead” for like a day before he took the stream offline. The song’s floating around the blogosphere in MP3 format (obvs), but here’s the bigger upside: another song from the forthcoming Godrich-produced “hip-hop” album has quietly debuted at myspace.com/beck. Low budget video, none of this audio-only nonsense for our favorite guero.
He’s been playing it live since last fall, and it’s called “Think I’m In Love.” Guess he’s doing fine.

This is a pretty sweet little pop song. Simple, slightly strange (sonically), and it has big melodic hooks placed front and center. It doesn’t have the manic Beck weirdness of some of his best singles, but its still a worthy song.
Simplistic, but good.
Amazing.
nice work fellah.
i likey.
do you think being a scientologist has had an inverse effect on beck’s wierdness?
like, scientologfy itself is so wacky, that it’s used up beck’s everyday wackiness quota. ALL UP! USED IT ALL UP!
where are the new maverick nutters? hmmmmm?
Neat song, fun video.
Still not sure why he’s hanging out with Joe Jackson, but oh well.
this was getting mad spins in india last week
That was decent. If you forget about the fact that dude wrote “Hotwax” and “Novacane” and “Cold Brains” and some of the other Best Songs Ever, this New Beck stuff is very listenable pop music.
beck’s awesome
“Hip Hop”? yeah, whatever beck.
The man’s still got it. Last time I checked this didn’t qualify as hip-hop but I am always down when it comes to new Beck tunes.
I posted this earlier today and have been listening to Cell Phone’s Dead all week.

So Beck is still hip ten years after Odelay
Nice
This song and video SUCK!!!!!!
Your face sucks, Barry.
Sounds like something that could’ve been on Guero. Not all about it, but it took months for me to give that album a chance.
You can’t go wrong with Beck,can you? Has anyone heard anymore about him working with Phantom Band?
Oh dear, looks like my boyfriend needs a haircut. Or did I miss the memo about long hair being “hip-hop” now???
This song is
think of when Iam down and need some
to make me happy
“BECK I LOVE U”
