.ZoeKravitz & nickhornby discuss the music that inspired HighFidelity hulu series
might find the notion of a TV series based on this vaunted source material worthy of a top five 'bad ideas' playlist.-- star and an executive producer of the Hulu project that drops Friday -- initially was one of them. That compass, along with the blessing of author Nick Hornby, music guidance from Questlove and a storyline that's both deferential and modern, has made all the difference for this deeply gratifying cover song.
Hornby's first dispatch back included tunes by Songhoy Blues, Car Seat Headrest and Sheer Mag, among others. In a joyful liner note, he and Kravitz continue to share playlists across the pond and riff about music obsessions over the occasional lunch. Rob is unquestionably the character of Kravitz's career thus far, and the one with whom she most profoundly connects. "Yeah, I think she is very close to me," Kravitz says. "A lot of my friends who've seen the show say it's the first time they've actually seen me in a character. I'd like to think that Rob, in terms of where she is emotionally, is maybe me five years ago.
Hornby says he's "usually on a jag" that sends him down various musical wormholes. "I have been trying to teach myself about jazz for about the last three to four years but at the moment it's big band, mostly Duke Ellington. And I'm loving that ride, to be able to go down all these little channels." "He's seen a few episodes he was really stoked about the music we have in the show," Kravitz says, citing in particular the Paul McCartney & Wings song "Arrow Through Me." "He introduced me to that song. It was Christmas break and we were all together and he started playing that song on repeat and we were so into it.
