David Byrne‘s highly anticipated new album titled Who Is The Sky has finally been released. This is his first album since 2018, when he released American Utopia, which was adapted into the hit Broadway musical and HBO movie. Last week, David chatted with Jimmy Fallon to discuss the album, and then surprised fans with a performance at New York City’s Rough Trade Underground. Byrne and his band performed “What Is The Reason For It” and an extended cut of “Everybody Laughs.“
Check out his interview with Jimmy Fallon and clips of the performances below!
Byrne also released a music video for “What Is The Reason For It” featuring Hayley Williams. The music video is an artistic experiment and animates more that 20 of Byrne’s original line drawings. You can watch the music video here:
