Bruce Hornsby has announced his new album Non-Secure Connection, and has shared "My Resolve" featuring The Shins' James Mercer as the lead single.

Hornsby's new single "My Resolve" is his first new material since last year's Absolute Zero LP. He describes the track as "a Sisyphean tale of the creative life, sung with a fellow climber."

The US singer/songwriter says of his Non-Secure Connection album, "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). 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."

Non-Secure Connection is largely produced by Hornsby, but features additional production from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), Brad Cook (Sharon Van Etten, Hiss Golden Messenger) Wayne Pooley (Bon Iver, Jack DeJohnette) and Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Andrew Bird, Aimee Mann).

The new album also features contributions from Justin Vernon, Jamila Woods, Leon Russell, Vernon Reid, and more.

Tracklist:

  1. Cleopatra Drones
  2. Time, The Thief
  3. Non-Secure Connection
  4. The Rat King (featuring Rob Moose)
  5. My Resolve (featuring James Mercer)
  6. Bright Star Cast (featuring Jamila Woods and Vernon Reid)
  7. Shit’s Crazy Out Here
