Paramore Teased for A24’s ‘Stop Making Sense’ Tribute Album – The Hollywood Reporter
Paramore eyes some oversized outerwear in the first teaser for A24‘s forthcoming album paying tribute to the Talking Heads‘ classic performance film Stop Making Sense.
A24 and Paramore took to social media Wednesday to share a video announcing the album, set to feature 16 artists each covering a different track from the 1984 movie. The video includes a snippet of Paramore’s version of “Burning Down the House,” which is teased as the first track for the project that has yet to announce a release date.
In the video, Paramore singer Hayley Williams receives a box at her doorstep and pulls out a gray suit jacket reminiscent of one that Talking Heads singer David Byrne famously dons in Jonathan Demme’s original movie. Filmed over four nights at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles the year prior, Stop Making Sense features hits including “Once in a Lifetime” and “Psycho Killer” and is among the most revered concert films ever made.
“We’ve got a tape we’d like to play you,” A24 captioned its post about the album. “16 tracks from 16 artists. Track 1: Paramore. Coming soon.”
A24 picked up distribution rights to Stop Making Sense last year and released a restored version of the film theatrically in September after its debut at the Toronto Film Festival.
Paramore was the subject of headlines last week after the group deleted all posts from its Instagram account following the expiration of its 20-year contract with Atlantic, according to media reports. The band released its sixth studio album, This Is Why, in February.
