Following last month’s announcement of his first album in seven years, ‘Who Is the Sky?’, David Byrne has unveiled the project’s latest single, “She Explains Things to Me.”

“She Explains Things to Me” taps into some of the deeper themes of Who Is the Sky? and was partially inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s  book Men Explain Things to Me. Through the narrator’s curious internal monologue, Byrne reflects here on the way men dismiss women’s ideas and points of view.

The follow-up to Byrne’s acclaimed 2018 album American Utopia, which was later adapted into a hit Broadway musical and HBO film, Who Is the Sky? will be released Sept. 5 through Matador Records. It was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra. Guests include Paramore’s Hayley Williams, St. Vincent and The Smile’s Tom Skinner

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
