Description

Welcome back to the Rolling Stone Interview video podcast. This week, Deputy Music Editor Simon Vozick-Levinson sits down with 73-year-old art-pop luminary David Byrne. In this intimate and wide-ranging conversation, Byrne reflects on the arc of his career – from frontman of Talking Heads to his daring solo explorations – and offers a fresh insight into his new album Who Is the Sky?. He unpacks the motivations behind the record, shares candid thoughts on his creative process, and explains why – despite perpetual speculation – a Talking Heads reunion remains off the table. Byrne also looks back at New York in the seventies, and even teases why stand-up comedy might be his next experiment.
