Just three weeks after first experimenting with Paramore's cover of Talking Heads' “Burning Down the House,” the band's cover is finally here.
On Wednesday (January 31), A24 Music officially announced Everyone's in: Tribute to Stop Making Sense — a tribute album celebrating Talking Heads' 40 years Stop making sense concert film and accompanying soundtrack.
The dedicated album's track listing mirrors that of the original LP, with fresh, new takes on the 16 electric tracks from a genre-spanning array of artists. The full list of artists featured on the soundtrack includes Paramore, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, The National, Teezo Touchdown, Kevin Abstract, Jean Dawson, girl in red, BADBADNOTGOOD, Blondshell, The Cavemen., Chicano Batman, Money Mark, DJ Tunez, El Mató a un Policía Motorizado, The Linda Lindas and Toro y Moi.
A24 Music's new compilation specifically celebrates his recent reissue Stop making sense in theaters nationwide. Originally shot and released in 1984, the Jonathan Demme-helmed concert film chronicles four nights of shows on the band's 1983 tour in support of Speaking in tongues album, which reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 that year. Back in 1984, the original Stop making sense The soundtrack hit No. 41 on the Billboard 200. the set has since spent 119 weeks on the chart, more than any other Talking Heads title.
Stop making sense returned to theaters this January in a restored 4K print. A24 acquired the worldwide rights to the film and under their guidance, the Stop making sense The re-release set an IMAX record for highest-grossing live event and eclipsed the gross of the film's original 10-month run in US theaters by weeks. On January 27, A24 launched a new theatrical home for the film, hosting monthly screenings in major cities — including Chicago, London and New York — as the concert doc approaches 40 years since its original premiere (April 24 ).
The Talking Heads have earned eight career entries on the Billboard Hot 100, including their only top 10 hit, 1983's “Burning the House Down” (No. 9). On the Billboard 200, the band's 12 career entries include 1983's Speaking in tongues (No. 15), 1985's Little Creatures (no. 20) and of 1988 Naked (No. 19).
