Our Take
Our Take
David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's collaboration on "Here Lies Love" is like a disco-infused fever dream that you never want to wake up from. The album features a star-studded cast of guest vocalists, including Florence Welch, Cyndi Lauper, and Santigold, who all bring their own unique flair to the table.
From the funky basslines to the infectious hooks, every track on this album is an absolute banger that will have you dancing around your living room in no time. The production is top-notch, with Byrne and Slim seamlessly blending their respective styles to create a sound that is fresh, exciting, and undeniably addictive.
But what really sets "Here Lies Love" apart is its concept - a concept album based on the life of Imelda Marcos, the former First Lady of the Philippines. It's a bold move that could have easily fallen flat, but Byrne and Slim pull it off with style and grace, weaving together a narrative that is both captivating and thought-provoking.
Overall, "Here Lies Love" is a triumph of creativity and collaboration, a testament to the power of music to transcend boundaries and bring people together. So slip on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and get ready to lose yourself in the infectious grooves of David Byrne and Fatboy Slim.
