It's March 31st. I'm Cory with the story, and this is Music News. Today Music News, powered by AI. David Byrne hit the late show stage with his crew of blue-suited musicians and dancers delivering a full-on choreographed take on his new track, When. We are singing from the album Who Is The Sky, dropped back in September. He chopped it up with Stephen Colbert about shaking up his live shows, explaining how he ditched the grey vibes from his last tour for something. Bright and bold, to match these wild times. Fans love how he's blending his solo cuts with talking heads classics like Cycle Killer and Life During War Time, giving them fresh spins that hit. Different now. Byrne even layered in some intense immigration and customs enforcement footage at the end of Life During War Time, keeping it punchy without dragging. The energy down. No full talking heads come back on the horizon though. He's cool weaving in those old hits selectively, dodging the Legacy Act trap to keep his sound. Evolving Sharp.
