Talking Heads Tribute Album Tracklist Revealed For Today’s 40th Anniversary Of Stop Making Sense
In January, A24 Music announced a Talking Heads tribute album entitled Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense. Today, they’re sharing the project’s release date — May 17 — as well as the full tracklist. Plus, Girl In Red’s cover of “Girlfriend Is Better” is out now.
“Talking Heads is an iconic band that helped define my identity when I was a teenager and they continue to inspire young people all around the world,” Marie Ulven said in a statement. “Being a part of this tribute is so sick and I’m super grateful I was given the opportunity. Talking Heads forever!!!!”
This announcement comes on the 40th anniversary of Stop Making Sense premiering at the San Francisco Film Festival. That film was restored and rereleased by A24 last year, prompting the band to reunite for Q&As.
So far from the tribute album, we’ve heard Paramore’s reinterpretation of “Burning Down The House,” Teezo Touchdown’s rendition of “Making Flippy Floppy,” and Lorde’s version of “Take Me To The River.” Miley Cyrus also previewed her countrified take on “Psycho Killer” at an intimate event at LA’s Chateau Marmont last month.
