Matador Records

Three quarters of Talking Heads, a remarkable cast of guest singers and a legal battle with David Byrne produced an album that was meant to become the beginning of something much bigger.

Rhino's expanded edition adds two complete 1979 shows, studio rarities, new Dolby Atmos mixes and rare BBC footage to the Talking Heads classic.

David Byrne has written and performed "Let Me Sell You a Dream", an original song for Alex Gibney's documentary Musk, using Elon Musk's own public statements as its lyrics.

Talking Heads Icon Turns A Post Punk Classic Into A Wordless Act Of Protest On Stage

David Byrne opened his Australian tour with a tightly choreographed, career-spanning set in Brisbane on Saturday, 17 January 2026, reminding the crowd just how wide and restless his musical world still is.

David Byrne has spent more than four decades redefining what a live performance can be, so the notion of squeezing his latest touring ensemble into NPR's famously cramped Tiny Desk seemed, at first, close to impossible. Byrne's shows have long been known for their sprawling casts, precision choreography and inventive use of non-traditional instrumentation. From Stop Making Sense through to American Utopia, the artistic director in him has always demanded more space, more movement and more sonic experimentation. Yet, remarkably, his Tiny Desk appearance proved that even a dozen musicians playing everything from marimba and cello to timbau and zabumba can still operate with Byrne's trademark clarity, humour and discipline.

Miley Cyrus has never been one to follow the obvious path, and her latest release, Secrets, reinforces that reputation.
