Mellow Gold

Mellow Gold is the third album by Beck. It is his official debut studio album as well as his major label debut. Mellow Gold was released on March 1, 1994, following the surprise success of its lead single, “Loser.”

The album features a hybrid of various styles including rock, hip-hop, folk, psychedelia, and country; along with ironic, witty lyrics. The decidedly anti-commercial attitude of Mellow Gold made it an unexpected success after going platinum.
