Recently A24 announced Everyone's Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense which sees current artists covering songs from Talking Heads' classic concert film. The latest we can hear from the compilation is girl in red's take on "Girlfriend Is Better." girl in red's version is fairly faithful to the original, but it's also a modern take on the New Wave classic. It sees the artist stretching out of her normal sound to a more high energy and dance friendly party jam. It's a fun cover of a fun song, and that's all we can truly ask for.

girl in red says of Talking Heads:

“Talking Heads is an iconic band that helped define my identity when I was a teenager and they continue to inspire young people all around the world. Being a part of this tribute is so sick and I’m super grateful I was given the opportunity. Talking Heads forever!!!!”
