May 17, 2024 – "Commercial considerations aside, the lineup of contributors to the record wound up becoming a testament to the way that Talking Heads’ music has transcended its time and can speak to multiple generations.” - Rolling Stone

“The sheer variety of talent — everyone from Miley Cyrus to the National — is appropriate for a band that freely incorporated punk, funk, global pop and early hip-hop elements. This tribute to an endlessly inventive band should please old fans and inspire some new ones.” - Associated Press

"Hayley Williams makes the song her own with an impressive vocal performance that finds her yelping and growling with a ragged intensity." - New York Times on “Burning Down The House”

"Her slinky, whispery interpretation of the song feels like a natural extension of the continuum, maintaining the gospel soulfulness of the original and the quirky new wave funk of the Talking Heads version." - Consequence on “Take Me to the River”

“Teezo was made for a Talking Heads cover" - Hot New Hip Hop on "Making Flippy Floppy"

"girl in red infused the iconic track with her signature playfulness and persona" - HypeBeast on “Girlfriend Is Better”

Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense is out now via A24 Music. Today, we get the first listen of Miley Cyrus’ take on “Psycho Killer” along with previously released singles from girl in red, Lorde, Paramore, and Teezo Touchdown, with covers from Chicano Batman (Feat.

Norah Jones), The Cavemen., Jean Dawson, DJ Tunez, Él Mató a un Policía Motorizado, The Linda Lindas, Blondshell and The National. Full tracklisting below.

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.

A24 acquired the worldwide rights to Stop Making Sense and brought it back to theaters around the world this past fall in a restored 4K print, 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. A24 kicked off a new theatrical residency for Stop Making Sense on Jan. 27th, with monthly screenings on tap in such cities as Chicago, London, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco leading into the 40th anniversary of its original premiere this summer.

Building off of A24’s 4K restoration of the film and theatrical release last year, the 40th anniversary milestone will be commemorated with A Night of Stop Making Sense, two unforgettable, SOLD OUT screening events on June 4th at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Pantages and June 13th at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, N.Y. All four members of Talking Heads will be on hand in both cities for post-screening fan Q&As, with Blondshell set to perform a Talking Heads cover in L.A. and The Linda Lindas doing the same in New York. Award-winning comedian, writer, producer, and musician Fred Armisen will moderate a conversation and fan Q&A with the band in Los Angeles, while Academy Award-winning filmmaker, GRAMMY Award winning musician and New York Times best-selling author, and member of The Roots Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson will do the same in NYC.

Stop Making Sense is now available to Watch at Home, streaming exclusively on HBO Max.
