Tricky Announces New EP 20,20 for March 2020 Release and Shares New Song “Lonely Dancer”

British rapper and producer Tricky has announced his new EP, 20,20, which will drop on March 6th, and has released the EP’s first single, “Lonely Dancer”. The track, which features Berlin-based musician Anika, is slow and somber, and very reflective of how solitude can alter the mood and behavior of anyone, regardless of wealth or position.

20,20 will be Tricky’s most recent work since the release of his last studio album, Ununiform, which dropped in November of 2017. Tricky has released 13 albums since 1995, and his career helped pioneer the grime scene that is currently dominating rap in the UK.

In 2019, Tricky released his highly received autobiography, Hell Is Round The Corner. The book captured Tricky’s “indomitable spirit”, as the book recounted the singer’s career from his turbulent early family life to the spotlight of late 90’s music industry excess. Tricky also played select shows in 2019, including the South Bank’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, and released “Make Me Wonder“.

Drew Feinerman: I have just completed my senior at the University of Michigan majoring in international studies with an emphasis in political economics and development, with a minor in Chinese language and culture, and I have recently been accepted into the Berklee School of Music's masters of music business program. Although my academic interests include economics, political science, and history, I consider music to be my one true passion. Music is, and has always been, a driving force for the way I think and act every day of my life. I have been playing the tenor saxophone since the age of ten, and playing an instrument at a high level has allowed me to only further my understanding and appreciation for music. While I grew up listening to predominantly classic rock, I soon found myself gravitating toward jazz, hip-hop, funk, and other genres, as my learned to both play and analyze music as a listener. As a writer, I am able to apply my skills both as a musician and a listener, and look forward to the opportunity to being able to express my thoughts on various stories in the music industry.
