Lorde Covers ‘Take Me to the River’ and Pens Loving Tribute to Talking Heads
Lorde covers the Talking Heads’ cover of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River” for the latest single in A24’s all-star tribute to 'Stop Making Sense.'
In addition to the Solar Power singer’s faithful rendition of the More Songs About Buildings and Food classic, Lorde also shared a lengthy letter about her first time hearing the Talking Heads and why that band is important to her. Lorde’s mother, sensing her daughter’s “constant burning urge to express myself,” shows her a YouTube video. Lorde’s “Take Me to the River” is the latest single from A24’s upcoming Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, following Paramore’s take on “ Burning Down the House.” The compilation also features covers from the National, the Linda Lindas, Blondshell, Chicano Batman, girl in red, Teezo Touchdown and Miley Cyrus, who is probably contributing “Psycho Killer.”
