Former talking heads chief DAVID BYRNE and Paramore‘s voice/face HAYLEY WILLIAMS are mutual fans, working together now and then,
and covering each other’s songs.
Busy bee Byrne wrote several songs for a new animated musical
adaptation of Roald Dahl’sThe Twitts. It premieres on Oct 17th.
One of the songs is a duet with, yes, you already guessed, Williams.
It’s named OPEN THE DOOR. It’s a jaunty and frolicsome pop tune.
Perfect for a snoozy Sunday.
Noel G.: “The album goes back to the beginning, living under the council skies.
Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be.”.
Rolling Stone UK says: “True to his word, here is an album that takes stock of the thrilling journey that led him from humble Mancunian roots to global fame. The result is some of the best songs of his post-Oasis career. Gallagher proves why he’s been able to forge a consistently compelling solo career.” Score: 4/5.
TUTV: I always thought about NG as a melancholic boy looking over his shoulder
and wondering what ever happened in his youth (Don’t Look Back In Anger, Live Forever, Whatever, AKA… What A Life, Stop The Clocks). And I thought/think right as his new one is almost a full retrospective LP wrapped in psychedelic pop tunes. And that’s what he
always did best and still does. Writing top tunes, verse/chorus/verse/middle-eight/chorus, that appeal to millions. And one more thing, his great voice even gets better as he gets older. He doesn’t need Oasis.
Singles/clips: Open The Door, See What You Find / Council Skies / Pretty Boy
