The Complete A24 Compilation album Everyone's Getting Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense has finally arrived, with new covers of the seminal rock band's music from Miley Cyrus and more artists.
The “Flowers” singer contributed a cover of Talking Heads' 1977 hit “Psycho Killer” to the project, which was released on Friday (May 17). Singing over swaying synths and pounding percussion, Cyrus – who previously sang a live cover of the song during her November performance at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles – channels her own pop star flair and energy into David Byrne's original original .
“Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est?” she sings with her signature. “Run, run, run, run, run, run away.”
The 16-track LP also features The National's version of “Heaven” and Linda Lindas rendition of “Found a Job,” as well as covers by Blondshell, Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado, DJ Tunez, Jean Dawson, The Cavemen, BADBADNOTGOOD, Kevin Abstract and Chicano Batman. Some of the recordings were released before the full album, including Paramore's cover of “Burning Down the House,” Lorde's rendition of “Take Me to the River,” Girl in Red's “Girlfriend Is Better,” and ” Making Flippy Floppy” by Teezo Touchdown. .”
Spearheaded by A24, the tribute celebrates the 40th anniversary of Talking Heads' ground-breaking 1984 concert film Stop making sensewhich was restored for special theater screenings last fall.
