Blondshell has shared her cover of Talking Heads’ “Thank You For Sending Me An Angel.” The track is part of A24 Music’s new compilation titled Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, which is also out today. The album includes appearances from, girl in red, The Linda Lindas, Lorde, Miley Cyrus, Paramore, The National, and more, and is a celebration of the recent 4K restoration of Jonathan Demme’s iconic concert film of the same name and the 40th anniversary of its accompanying soundtrack. Today’s single follows “Docket (feat. Bully)” (Partisan Records) which Blondshell dropped last month.

Blondshell on covering “Thank You For Sending Me An Angel.”

“I’m so honored to be involved in this project and cover one of my favorite bands. Stop Making Sense is absolutely timeless and has inspired so many artists I know. With ‘Thank You For Sending Me An Angel’ I felt like there was so much room for interpretation so I wanted to sing it how I would if it were my own song. We ended up making it this slow burn that gets really big half way through and feels somewhat explosive. Seventeen-year-old me is extremely stoked but then again so is current me.”

The artist also known as Sabrina Teitelbaum will also be performing her cover at what will be an unforgettable screening of the film on June 4th at the film’s original shoot location: Hollywood Pantages. Billed as “An Evening of Stop Making Sense,” all four members of Talking Heads will be on hand for post-screening fan Q&As moderated by  writer, producer, and musician Fred Armisen.
