Miley Cyrus<\/strong> is among the artists participating in an upcoming album called Everyone\u2019s Getting Involved: A Tribute to the Talking Heads\u2019 Stop Making Sense<\/em>, in which various artists sing songs featured in Talking Heads<\/strong>‘ legendary 1984 concert film. It hasn’t yet been revealed which song Miley has covered, but a video posted on social media reveals she’s put a lot of thought into reimagining one of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famers’ most famous tracks.<\/p>\n

The video shows her singing Talking Heads’ 1977 track “Psycho Killer<\/a>” at Chateau Marmont, the location of that intimate performance<\/a> she did last year for her birthday. While the original is a herky-jerky new wave tune, Miley’s arrangement features banjo and acoustic guitar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Miley also plays around with the melody and has added new lyrics which go, “I love you psycho killer\/ I\u2019m gonna love you forever\/ You know I\u2019ll never run away.” She then asks the audience if her version is “better than the original.”<\/p>\n

Miley’s involvement with the Talking Heads project isn’t a surprise since she’s friendly with the band’s frontman, David Byrne<\/strong>. He guest-starred in her 2023 New Year’s Eve special on NBC, joining her for several songs, including a cover of<\/a> David Bowie’<\/strong>s “Let’s Dance.”<\/p>\n
