David Byrne teaming up with Olivia Rodrigo is not a gimmick. It is a generational handshake that somehow feels both awkward and brilliant. Byrne brings his anxious philosopher energy while Rodrigo grounds it with emotional immediacy and the result sounds like a pop song that accidentally wandered into a midlife realization.
This track works because it refuses to chase youth or nostalgia. It just lets two voices from different eras circle the same feeling from opposite angles. Masters Radio lives for moments like this when artists do not retreat into comfort and instead lean into curiosity.
