The joint work between the former Talking Heads and the electronic musician will be titled Here love love and it will be a tribute to Imelda Marcos, widow of the Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
In addition to the two of them, a long list of top-level singers will parade through the album, as in the case of Tori Amos, Cyndi Lauper, Sharon Jones, Steve Earle, Natalie Merchant, Róisín Murphy, Nellie McKay, Kate Pierson and Martha Wainwright, among others.
As for the honoree, we can say that Imelda He was born into a wealthy family. As a teenager, Miss Philippines was consecrated; and soon after he married Ferdinand. From there, with Marcos already ruling, Imelda was climbing positions and accumulating a great quota of power. 11 years after the death of Ferdinand Marcos, Imelda had to face a trial for alleged corruption.
