Vulnerable is the seventh album of Bristol, England rapper/producer Tricky, released in 2003. Tricky: "I called this album Vulnerable because it's my most honest and open record. On this album. I've stopped hiding and I'm allowing people to see different sides of the real me." (official bio)

The main female collaborator in this album was the Italian singer Costanza Francavilla, a previous fan who approached Tricky on one of his shows and gave him a cd with songs: On the 17th of December 2001, Tricky, one of Costanza's favourite artists ever, came to play in Rome. Costanza managed to give Tricky's drummer a demo cd (with 3 songs written, performed and produced by her).The day after Tricky called her asking to work with her: the collaboration started. (Constanza's Official site)

In Spring 2002 she moved to L.A. to begin recording Tricky's new album Vulnerable. During the summer '02 her song "My Head" was part of Tricky's Blowback Limited re-edition. In summer 2003, Costanza performed live on Tricky's 13 tour all around Europe (including festivals like Glastonbury and the London Meltdown Festival). In Fall 2003 the Back To Mine compilation dedicated to Tricky comes out featuring Costanza's song Desire(written, peformed and produced by Costanza).
