We posted about this back in April, and it’s about ready to be made public. David Byrne has finalized the project and it’s a double CD set that includes some of the best female musicians in the music world. It was supposed to be a musical about shoe-loving Imelda Marcos and her maid. A sort of cross-dialogue between the oppressor and the oppressed. We are fascinated by it and waiting for it’s February 23rd, 2010 release. Click below for the full tracklisting of Here Lies Love with the guest vocalists.
