David Byrne may have famously sang about being on a road to nowhere -- but he's certainly headed for the spotlight once again with his long-awaited 2025 album, Who Is the Sky?
The eleventh solo album from the legendary frontman for the Talking Heads, Who Is the Sky? features several characteristically ambitious collaborations between Byrne and prominent contemporary musicians, including the likes of Hayley Williams, St. Vincent and many other stars.
The album -- Byrne's first in seven years, following 2018's American Utopia -- promises to be a return to form for the decorated '70s rock musician. As further proof of this fact, the 73-year-old Byrne is currently hard at work planning out an expansive tour promoting the album, which is planned to run from 2025 into 2026, featuring stops everywhere from New York and Los Angeles to Germany, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
Who Is the Sky? will officially arrive on September 5, featuring a total of 12 songs arranged by the Ghost Train Orchestra. The album is set to open with Byrne's single, "Everybody Laughs," which the artist has discussed in past interviews regarding the upcoming project.
“Someone I know said, ‘David, you use the word ‘everybody’ a lot,'" Byrne said in a press release, as reported by Pitchfork. "I suppose I do that to give an anthropological view of life in New York as we know it.”
“Everybody lives, dies, laughs, cries, sleeps and stares at the ceiling," the accomplished Talking Heads rocker continued. "Everybody’s wearing everybody else’s shoes, which not everybody does, but I have done."
"I tried to sing about these things that could be seen as negative in a way balanced by an uplifting feeling from the groove and the melody, especially at the end, when St. Vincent and I are doing a lot of hollering and singing together," the artist concluded. "Music can do that—hold opposites simultaneously.”
