"Saw Lightning" is a song by the American musician Beck. It was released in 2019 as the first single[3] from his fourteenth studio album Hyperspace.[4] It was co-written by Beck and Pharrell Williams. Aside from vocals, Williams also plays drums and keyboards in the song.[5][6]

Background

Beck said: "I was making a record called Midnite Vultures and while we were making it… I remember the Neptunes [Pharrell's production duo] had just come out, and I said I'm gonna do the next record with the Neptunes, and here we are 20 years later".[7]

Reception

Daniel Kreps of Rolling Stone wrote that the song "melds the jangly acoustic guitar of Beck's folksier work with the dancefloor-ready programmed beats prominent in his 2017 LP Colors".[4]

UDiscoverMusic wrote of the song: "A classic slice of cross-genre boundary-breaking, 'Saw Lightning' sees Beck taking an about-turn from the euphoric pop of Colors to assemble a junkyard-blues-hip-hop confection featuring rapped vocals" and "some One Foot in the Grave- style blues harmonica".[7]
