Listen to David Byrne’s cover of Hard Times by Paramore
After inspiring “the cadence and tone of these verses”, Talking Heads’ David Byrne has covered Paramore’s Hard Times for Record Store Day – stream it now.
Paramore announce Re: This Is Why album, which consists of their recent songs “remixed sort of classically, while others were reworked or rewritten”.
Following some This Is Why-related teasing, Paramore have just announced a remix album (well… “almost”), due for release this Friday.
The trio’s brilliant 2023 record will be getting the remix treatment on October 6, with Re: This Is Why consisting of collaborations with “some of the artists who’ve influenced us as a band and/or who have cited our band as an influence” – though those names haven’t been revealed yet.
Teasing what’s to come musically, Paramore add: “Re: This Is Why is almost a remix album. Some of the songs have been remixed sort of classically, while others were reworked or rewritten.”
Read their full statement announcing the LP: “We’ve long wanted to recognize the connection we have with some of the artists who’ve influenced us as a band and/or who have cited our band as an influence. Re: This Is Why is almost a remix album. Some of the songs have been remixed sort of classically, while others were reworked or rewritten. It’s incredible to hear all our worlds colliding. Out 10/6.
