The single is included in the tribute album ‘Everyone’s Getting Involved’, produced by A24 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the concert film ‘Stop Making Sense’. It aims to be a slightly edgy dance track, but instead it just ends up being a cacophony.
Miley Cyrus has released her unique synthpop cover of ‘Psycho Killer’ as part of the new tribute album ‘Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense’, produced by A24 Music. The compilation album, announced in December, features 16 artists reinterpreting classics from the iconic New York band.
Cyrus’ version of ‘Psycho Killer’ opens the album with a driving new-wave beat and pulsing synths, deviating from the acoustic preview she performed at the Chateau Marmont in March. The cover also includes new lyrics penned by Cyrus, where she proclaims: “I love you, psycho killer / Gonna love you forever / You know I’ll never run away.”
The tribute album also features Lorde’s rendition of ‘Take Me to the River,’ Paramore’s cover of ‘Burning Down the House,’ The National’s version of ‘Heaven,’ Girl in Red’s ‘Girlfriend Is Better,’ and Teezo Touchdown’s take on ‘Making Flippy Floppy,’ among others. This release follows Cyrus’ recent success at the 2024 Grammy Awards, where she won Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year for ‘Flowers’ from her album ‘Endless Summer Vacation.’
