Paramore covered Talking Heads for the upcoming Stop Making Sense tribute album -- and now David Byrne is returning the favor. Here's more.
The Heads frontman has recorded a cover of "Hard Times," the opening track on Paramore's 2017 album After Laughter, that will be paired up with Paramore's cover of "Burning Down the House" to come out on Record Store Day April 20th.
Byrne said, "The band told me that their song 'Hard Times' was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section. This was fun!"
The cover isn't a total surprise, as Paramore singer Hayley Williams had mentioned in an interview last fall that they had something special in the can featuring Byrne. Paramore are this year's Record Store Day ambassadors, and will release their remix album Re: This is Why on vinyl on that day.
