Get ready to dive into a treasure trove of musical gems, because Beck is finally opening up his vaults—sort of. After years of fans clamoring for more, the enigmatic artist is dropping Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime, an eight-song mini-album on opaque red vinyl, set to release in February 2026. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just another compilation. It’s Beck’s first since 2000’s Stray Cat Blues, and it’s packed with rarities, covers, and two brand-new solo acoustic tracks that will leave you breathless.
Among the highlights are Beck’s hauntingly beautiful renditions of Hank Williams’ ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ and Daniel Johnston’s ‘True Love Will Find You In The End,’ both previously unreleased. These tracks alone make this release a must-have for die-hard fans. But wait—there’s more. The album also includes his swoon-worthy original ‘Ramona,’ from the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World soundtrack, and his iconic cover of The Korgis’ ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime,’ which first stole hearts in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. And this is the part most people miss: his rare take on Elvis’ ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love,’ originally from Resistance Radio: The Man In The High Castle Album, is finally getting a physical release.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is this mini-album a teaser for something bigger? With no career-spanning greatest hits collection, no vinyl reissues of classics like Midnight Vultures, and no Deluxe Editions since 2008’s Odelay, fans are left wondering: Is Beck finally ready to unleash his archives? Or is this just a one-off treat? Let’s hope it’s the former.
The album also features Beck’s lesser-known covers, like ‘Michelangelo Antonioni’ from A Tribute to Caetano Veloso and his dreamy version of The Flamingos’ ‘I Only Have Eyes For You,’ originally part of Doug Aitken’s multimedia installation. Plus, his take on John Lennon’s ‘Love,’ first released on a Starbucks exclusive compilation, gets a well-deserved spotlight. Each track is a reminder of Beck’s versatility and his ability to make any song his own.
Available for pre-order now, Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime is set to drop on February 13, 2026, via EMI—vinyl only, at least for now. Prices range from $25.99 to $29.99, depending on where you shop. And while you’re at it, check out the full tracklisting below, which reads like a map to Beck’s most intriguing musical detours.
