After long tours through Europe and the USA Tricky is recording songs again in summer 2002! In 2003 the album - called 'Vulnerable' - is released: The female singer is Costanza Francavilla, with whom Tricky already recorded the song 'My Head'. Tricky calls the album "the best record I've done". His own label (formerly known as Durban Poison, then Urban Poison) is now called Brown Punk and will release his album in the US, also a solo album by Costanza later this year.

But Tricky is also showing his talents in photographing - his photos are shown in an exhibition in Paris during April and May, called "Waiting for God" (Palais de Tokyo) - and film directing: to promote his label Brown Punk he directed a movie about the artists on his label in 2007. And finally he is working on a new album again, which will be released in July 2008. Obviously it goes back to his roots in Bristol, as it is called 'Knowle West Boy', referring to Knowle West in Bristol, where he lived. A first single (Council Estate) will be released in June...
