Svi detalji o zajedničkom albumu Fatboy Slim i David Byrne, o životu bivše prve dame Filipina Imelda Marcos su ovde! Album pod imenom Here Lies Love predstavlja Santigold, Sia, Cyndi Lauper, Sharon Jones, Alice Russell, Róisín Murphy i Kate Pierson iz B-52s, sa samo par muških vokala na dva diska.
Priča prati uspon i pad Marcos od siromašnog detinjstva do ekstravagantnog života i navodne korupcije, njena prijateljstva sa ljudima kao što su Reaganovi. I verovatno će se spomenuti i njena kolekcija od preko 3000 pari cipela.
Byrne kaže da je bio inspirisan da napiše ovaj mjuzikl nakon što je saznao da je Imelda pretvorila vrh svoje palate u Manili u disko nakon puta na godišnju žurku Studio 54 u New Yorku. Opisuje muzički sadržaj kao “house, techno, pomalo Latin”, i izdaće se i DVD i knjiga od 100 stranica.
“Bilo je oslobađajuće pisati iz ugla drugačijeg lika” kaže Byrne. “Niko neće pomisliti da koristite taj lik kako bi iskazali svoje mišljenje. Sviđa mi se ideja da je sve to tačno, da mogu napisati pesmu o njenom plesanju sa Kissinger-om jer je dokumentovano i postoji video snimak koji to potvrđuje.”
Ovo svojevrsno izdanje izlazi 23.02.2010.
