A24 Sets ‘Stop Making Sense’ Tribute Album With Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Paramore and More Artists Delivering Talking Heads Covers
A24 has announced a 'Stop Making Sense' tribute album with 16 artists covering Talking Heads. Up first? Paramore.
In a teaser clip posted on both Paramore and A24’s social channels, frontwoman Hayley Williams receives a box in the mail containing a replica of the jacket David Byrne wears on the album’s original artwork. Referencing “Stop Making Sense,” Williams tells her bandmates, “I’ve got a tape I’d like to play you,” while the trailer previews Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down the House.” The 1984 film was directed by filmmaker Jonathan Demme (“Silence of the Lambs,” “Philadelphia”) and stars core band members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison along with Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry and Edna Holt.
