After Beck's surprise win for the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2015, his next album became a focus of attention. Would he continue to explore his musical range, or would he rest on his laurels, and create another album like Mourning Phase? We got a glimpse when the first single came out in summer 2015. "Dreams" was an upbeat danceable pop track with the skewed funk Beck has done in the past. "Wow" followed a year later, with a dreamy, pop/funk/electronica vibe. It took another year before the album Colors finally came out, and it was a fairly experimental album, with lots of oddball electro-pop involved, but also remained pretty accessible, with some very dancy pop tracks. As predicted, Beck remained unpredictable. After a two year slow burn, Colors was well worth the wait.
