Hollywood Records signs 
critically acclaimed artist Tricky
   
     
Tricky, the artist hailed for revolutionizing the trip-hop genre, has signed
an exclusive deal with Hollywood Records for the U.S. release of his next
album.

Tricky began his career in the late 80s as part of the Wild Bunch, the
Bristol based collective that went on to become Massive Attack.  After
contributing guest raps on Massive Attacks 1991 debut, Blue Lines, and
working on two tracks for the follow-up, Protection, Tricky released his
first single, Aftermath, on his own Naïve label in 1993. Two years later,
he released Maxinquaye, an album Rolling Stone named one of the essential
recordings of the 90s.  The album entered the UK charts at No. 2, and
wound up topping several year-end polls in Britain, including those featured
in Melody Maker and NME.  Over the course of his career, Tricky has released
such critically acclaimed albums as Pre-Millenium Tension (1996), Angels
With Dirty Faces (1998) and Juxtapose (1999), while collaborating with
artists as diverse as Bjork, Garbage, Bush and Elvis Costello.

Tricky is currently working on his Hollywood debut, which will feature guest
appearances from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alanis Morissette, Cyndi Lauper
and Ed Kowalczyk from Live among others.  The album is due for release this July.
