David Byrne's Take on Olivia Rodrigo's 'Drivers License'
Get ready for a unique twist on Olivia Rodrigo's iconic 2021 hit, 'Drivers License'! On the song's fifth anniversary, Olivia surprised fans with a special collaboration: a cover by none other than David Byrne. This unexpected partnership brings a fresh perspective to the beloved track, and it's a real treat for music enthusiasts.
In a heartfelt message, Byrne shared, 'Olivia Rodrigo, my newfound friend, invited me to interpret her debut single, which was also the opening track of our live performance of 'Burning Down the House' at Governors Ball. I was thrilled to discover that her song is so relatable and universal; we've all felt those emotions and experienced those moments. I recorded this cover during my tour in Atlanta and Miami with an incredible team of musicians, singers, and dancers who made it a memorable experience.'
This cover is the first in a series of SOUR covers that Olivia has in store for her fans. As she excitedly announced, 'SOUR is turning five this year! To celebrate, I'm thrilled to unveil a series of reimagined SOUR covers by some of my favorite artists. We're kicking things off with a stunning rework of 'Drivers License' by David Byrne, one of my all-time idols. I was so moved by his version that I actually shed a tear.'
But here's where it gets even more intriguing! Byrne, who has been collaborating with Hayley Williams lately, is set to embark on the next leg of his tour in support of his album 'Who Is the Sky' later this month. So, get ready for a double dose of musical magic!
