A24 Music continues to preview the forthcoming Everyone’s Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense compilation by sharing girl in red‘s version of “Girlfriend Is Better” and unveiling the collection’s full tracklist.

Everyone’s Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense arrives on May 17 and is now available for pre-order. Three cuts from the 16-song set were previously released: Lorde's “Take Me To The River”, Paramore’s “Burning Down The House” and Teezo Touchdown’s “Making Flippy Floppy.”

Additional artists who contributed covers to the project include Toro y Moi, Miley Cyrus, The National, Chicano Batman featuring Money Mark, The Linda Lindas, BADBADNOTGOOD and more. Everyone’s Involved: A Tribute To Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense was assembled as part of a continuing celebration of the 40th anniversary of the iconic concert film.

Talking Heads initially issued “Girlfriend Is Better” on the band’s 1983 studio album, Speaking In Tongues. A single featuring a live version from the Stop Making Sense soundtrack the following year.

“Talking Heads is an iconic band that helped define my identity when I was a teenager and they continue to inspire young people all around the world,” wrote Norweigan pop star girl in red. “Being a part of this tribute is so sick and I’m super grateful I was given the opportunity. Talking Heads forever!!!!”
