With his sorrowful vocals and devastating acoustic laments, Damien Rice helped define the sound of the early '00s. His 2002 debut achieved platinum and gold certifications worldwide, but his is more than just the story of O. In 2006, he released follow-up 9, though later admitted that this was at the behest of his record label. After taking eight years off—during which he only (and rarely) appeared to participate in charity events—he returned in 2014 with My Favourite Faded Fantasy, a record as beautifully unsettling as that fabled debut.
