David Byrne & Fatboy Slim Feat. Florence Welch "Here Lies Love"
David Byrne turns an unwieldy premise - a musical dramatization of former Philippines first lady Imelda Marcos' early life - into dizzy fun by setting 22 songs to Fatboy Slim's lush and bustling dance beats. (Marcos was a first lady.) Guests include Tori Amos, Cyndi Lauper and Santigold on the wah-powered funk single "Please Don't." The songs depict Marcos' outsize anxieties, desires and ambitions. Dig into that heady stuff if you like - or just surrender to the inexorable beats.
