Details are emerging on the Renaissance Man’s Here Lies Love, a concept album about Imelda Marcos, shoe-obsessed widow of the Philippines’ former dictator. Byrne wrote the project with Fatboy Slim and promises every song will have a different vocalist. Among them: Santigold, Roisin Murphy, Sharon Jones, Alice Russell, and Tori Amos.

Well, I’m intrigued. Still not used to Santigold as opposed to Santogold, though, just doesn’t seem right…
Our very own Imelda Marcos??? Wow! How’d that happen???? Haha!
hooray for the alice russell spot. she’s great and people need to hear her.
part of me is really excited about this on grounds that david byrne is doing something that everyone else seems to think is a strange idea. (basically what his career has been built on). the other part of me can’t help but feel let down that tori amos is involved. ever since she got involved with those heavy-handed animal rights tv guilt trip spots, I’ve had a hard time keeping that and her music separate.
