Beck and Phoenix share collaborative single ‘Odyssey’
Beck and Phoenix have released their new collaborative single ‘Odyssey’ – check it out below.
The track, which is written, produced and performed by Beck and Phoenix, arrives ahead of the US musician and French indie band’s co-headline 2023 ‘Summer Odyssey’ tour across North America.
“Somewhere / We’ll fall into the ocean / I’ll be there / On an odyssey in the sun…” they sing on the lively, summery track.

Speaking to NME in their Big Read interview last September, Phoenix likened their own recent run of shows earlier this year to a “digital opera”.
“Our lighting designer is on the verge of a breakdown for real,” Thomas Mars laughed. “We’re playing with the same tools that have worked for centuries. You can open the curtain to different environments and mess with people’s perceptions. In a live show, everything is possible.”
Reviewing their London show in November last year, NME described the show as a “another staggering assault on the senses”.
The band perform at Glastonbury this Sunday (June 25) on the Woodies stage.
In February, Beck shared his mournful new song ‘Thinking About You’, which followed on from his 2022 cover of Neil Young’s ‘Old Man’. The musician’s 14th and most recent studio album, ‘Hyperspace’, came out in February 2019.
Elsehwhere, Beck joined The Black Keys at their most recent show in Paris for a live performance of his hit song ‘Loser’.
