BRUCE HORNSBY – ‘Flicted – LP – Duckie Yellow Vinyl

LP – Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Duckie Yellow Vinyl.

This record being the third in a trilogy of song collections mostly based on film music I wrote for Spike Lee over the past few years, I wanted to move to some new stylistic places and maybe make a more upbeat record overall. We dont get a ballad until #7, the pandemic shut-down era piece Days Ahead ( a duet with Danielle Haim). Lyrically the record is dotted with three Covid-related songs; the aforementioned, Tag and the album opener Sidelines (a duet with Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend), and otherwise ranges far afield with the world of science again a recurring influence (Lidar and Point Omega). The record also includes the first cover song Ive ever put on a studio release, a total re-imagining of Chuck Berrys Too Much Monkey Business. The album title ‘Flicted relates to this strange time in which we live, when the world is basically, well, flicted!
