Although best-known for his groundbreaking tenure fronting the new wave group Talking Heads, David Byrne is also acclaimed for his adventurous solo career, encroaching upon such diverse arenas as world music, filmmaking, and performance art in the process. The creatively restless Byrne has taken his work in numerous directions since striking out on his own -- Latin rhythms (1989's Rei Momo), orchestral works (1991's The Forest), Scottish music (2003's Lead Us Not Into Temptation), adventurous pop (1992's Uh-Oh), electronic dance-pop (2010's Here Lies Love, with Fatboy Slim), and collaborations with other artists of note (2012's Love This Giant, with St. Vincent, and 2008's Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, with Brian Eno). But Byrne's passion for rhythms and sonic colors, his gift for angular but catchy melodies, and his keen and cooly witty but thoughtful observations of diverse characters are the through-lines that bring his catalog together.
