Tricky Announces New Album Fall To Pieces for September 2020 Release and Shares New Song “Fall Please”

English rapper and producer Tricky has officially announced the release of his new album, Fall To Pieces, which will be available September 4. The rapper also shared the album’s lead single, “Fall Please.”

The song has a very funky and bouncy vibe to it, as the accompanying vocals of Marta give the song an extremely house-y feel to it. The production is unique and ambient, as the pulse of the bass and snare drums keep the funky groove of the song continually driving. The visual accompaniment is minimalist and basic, allowing the viewer to really focus on the nuances that are present in the production. “Fall Please” is an interesting introduction to the album, as it shows Tricky’s continued ability to expand his production style across different sounds and approaches.

“With most of my stuff, there’s nothing else like it around, but with ‘Fall Please’ I’ve managed to do something I’ve never been able to before, which is that everyone can feel it – even people who don’t know my music,” states Tricky about the song. “It’s my version of pop music, the closest I’ve got to making pop.”

In addition to Fall To Pieces, Tricky has also previously released an EP titled 20, 20 back in March of this year. The album was Tricky’s most recent work since the release of his last studio album, Ununiform, which dropped in November of 2017. Tricky has released thirteen albums since 1995, and his career helped pioneer the grime scene that is currently dominating rap in the UK.

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.
