Description
“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 don’t 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 I’ve ever put on a studio release, a total re-imagining of Chuck Berry’s ‘Too Much Monkey Business.’ The album title ‘‘Flicted’ relates to this strange time in which we live, when the world is basically, well, ‘flicted!” — Bruce Hornsby

sadly, hornsby's last few albums have been very underwhelming.

and the 'red hook' album based on a spike lee film, is not very good at all.
