Lorde unveils a cover of "Take Me To The River" by Talking Heads
Lorde has shared a cover of “Take Me To The River” as the latest to emerge from the A24 Music compilation, Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense.
Lorde's cover of "Take Me To The River" comes in celebration of the recent re-release of Jonathan Demme’s iconic concert film of the same name and the 40th anniversary of its accompanying soundtrack album.
Everyone’s Getting Involved boasts the illustrious talents of Kevin Abstract, The Linda Lindas, girl in red, Miley Cyrus, Paramore, Teezo Touchdown, Blondshell, Toro y Moi, The National, and more. Lorde’s contribution to the collection is particularly unique considering “Take Me To The River” is itself a cover of a song written and first released by legendary vocalist Al Green in 1974.
Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense will follow later this year.
