Former folk singer Beck Hansen, known musically simply as Beck, hit the scene nationally in 1993 when his single “Loser” unexpectedly exploded on college and alternative radio stations. The song resulted in signing to Geffen, and it was under their umbrella that 1994's Mellow Gold was released. The album sold over one million units and made Beck a guy to watch. Was he the next big thing or the latest one-hit wonder? The wait for Beck’s next move was worth it.
