David Byrne talks about his latest album and admiration for Olivia Rodrigo

David Byrne recently took to Instagram Stories to share his upcoming marriage to fiancee Mala Gaonkor, alongside announcing his new album, ‘Who Is the Sky?’. Known for its vibrant cover and catchy tracks, the latest release captures Byrne’s signature avant-garde pop style. Fans can experience the music firsthand during Byrne’s upcoming tour, set to kick off at the Dolby Theatre in November.

For Byrne, an advocate of joy, the current atmosphere of excitement is fitting. While his earlier days with Talking Heads exuded a nervous euphoria, his more recent projects, like the acclaimed American Utopia tour of 2018, have taken on a warmer and more communal tone. Byrne seeks to celebrate the quirks of life rather than promote a state of ignorant bliss, characterizing his new album as a “love song to humanity.”

When asked about his fondness for bicycling in Manhattan, Byrne mentioned that it is his preferred mode of transportation. He reflected on participating in the Gay Pride parade on his bike the previous day, emphasizing how crucial cycling is for getting around the city efficiently. Byrne’s recent endeavors have been met with widespread acclaim, with his creative output over the past few years being particularly noteworthy.
