"Blowback" is the sixth album of Bristol, England rapper/producer Tricky, released in 2001. Like "Nearly God", "Blowback" contains several collaborations, but the album's sound is much brighter and more relaxed by comparison. Tricky himself says that he wants to get airplay with this album, while most of his older albums were made to stay off the radio. Guest singers on "Blowback" include Anthony Kiedis and John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cyndi Lauper, Alanis Morissette, Ed Kowalczyk and less well known artists such as Hawkman, Stephanie McKay and Ambersunshower, with whom he already worked in 1996 for the charity compilation "Childline".

A new song called "Question" and an alternate version of the song "Diss Never" (both with Alanis Morissette's vocals) are still unreleased, because her label Maverick Records holds them back.{cn}

Additional information
