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!""
