On the song's 5th anniversary, Rodrigo surprises fans with a special cover by none other than David Byrne. But here's the twist: Byrne puts his own spin on it, creating a fresh and unexpected take that will leave you wanting more.
The cover is now available as a 7" vinyl, with an added treat - a recording of Byrne and Rodrigo's live performance of 'Burning Down the House' from GovBall on the B-side. Pre-order now and be part of this exclusive release!
Byrne shares his experience, writing, "My new friend Olivia invited me to reinterpret her debut single, and I discovered its universal appeal. We all have those emotions, and I wanted to capture that." He recorded it while on tour with his talented band, and the result is a fun and heartfelt rendition.
This cover is just the beginning of a series of SOUR covers that Rodrigo has planned. She writes, "SOUR turns 5 this year, and I'm thrilled to announce a series of reimagined covers by my favorite artists. We kick things off with an incredible version of 'drivers license' by my hero, David Byrne. His take moved me to tears."
And this is the part most people miss: Byrne, known for his diverse collaborations, is about to embark on the next leg of his tour, supporting his recent album 'Who Is The Sky'.
