GIRL IN RED COVERS “GIRLFRIEND IS BETTER” FOR A24‘S EVERYONE’S GETTING INVOLVED: A TRIBUTE TO TALKING HEADS’ STOP MAKING SENSE
FULL TRACK LISTING REVEALED AND OFFICIAL VINYL AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
After teasing Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down The House,” Teezo Touchdown’s “Making Flippy Flop” and Lorde’s “Take Me To The River,” A24 Music has revealed the full tracklisting and release date for Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense. The project will be out May 17th and is now available for pre-order. See full track listing below.
This week, on the 40th anniversary of the Stop Making Sense premiere at the San Francisco Film Festival, girl in red has shared her version of “Girlfriend Is Better.” On the heels of the release of her brand new album I’M DOING IT AGAIN BABY!, she delivers a vibrant new take on the track, highlighted by her funky, playful instrumentation and impressive vocals.
She said of the experience, “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. Being a part of this tribute is so sick and I’m super grateful I was given the opportunity. Talking Heads forever!!!!”
Mirroring the tracklist of the original LP, these 16 exciting and utterly surprising reinterpretations will not only introduce a new generation of listeners to Talking Heads’ music but also offer fresh perspectives and unique takes on songs longtime fans have known by heart for decades. This selection of brilliant artists recontextualizes Stop Making Sense in popular music and culture, with a focus on generational and stylistic breadth.
Recorded at three December 1983 shows at Los Angeles’ Pantages Theatre and released the following year, Stop Making Sense is widely regarded as one of the greatest concert films of all time. In it, Talking Heads are augmented by musicians such as Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt, helping songs such as “Once In A Lifetime,” “Burning Down The House” and “Crosseyed And Painless” reach new creative heights.
A24 acquired the worldwide rights to Stop Making Sense and brought a restored 4K print back to theaters around the world in fall 2023, often leading to dance parties breaking out in the aisles. The film set an IMAX record for highest-grossing live event, and surpassed the gross from its original 10-month U.S. theatrical run within a matter of weeks.
Best of all, the screenings brought together the four core members of Talking Heads for the first time since 2002, with David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison participating in a number of on-stage conversations to discuss their memories of the legendary album and Jonathan Demme-directed film, which is available to Watch at Home and will stream exclusively on HBO Max beginning on May 1st.
Ongoing monthly Stop Making Sense theatrical residencies continue in such cities as Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.
