Bruce Hornsby has released his latest studio album, Non-Secure Connection, out today via Zappo Production/Thirty Tigers. The 10-track album from the acclaimed pianist and singer acts as Hornsby’s second full-length studio effort in as many years following 2019’s Absolute Zero.
Non-Secure Connection features guest appearances from artists including James Mercer (The Shins), Justin Vernon and Wayne Pooley (Bon Iver), Jamila Woods, Vernon Reid, and even a posthumous cameo from the late Leon Russell on the song “Anything Can Happen“, which was shared earlier this week. Other previously-released singles included on Non-Secure Connection include “Bright Star Cast” and “My Resolve”.
“The new album’s chromaticism and dissonance quotient is exactly twice as high (three songs featuring that language compared to one and a half on the last record),” Hornsby mentioned with Non-Secure Connection‘s announcement back in June. “I feel like my music has never been a part of any trend that defined any era of music during my 34 years of doing this. I may be wrong, but that’s how it feels to me.”
Hornsby recently shared a trio of 2019 performances for fans to download or stream for free as the live events industry remains on indefinite hiatus. Hornby has since been forced to postpone the final remaining dates of his 2020 spring tour.
