Olivia Rodrigo/David Byrne - drivers license / Burning Down the House

Marking five years since Olivia Rodrigo’s breakthrough single, this special release captures an unexpected meeting of eras and voices. David Byrne offers his own reading of ‘drivers license’, reframing the song’s raw emotion through his unmistakable phrasing and presence. On the flip, Rodrigo and Byrne come together for a live performance of ‘burning down the house’, recorded on stage at New York’s Governor’s Ball, blending pop immediacy with art-rock legacy.

Taken together, the pairing highlights the shared emotional directness at the heart of both artists’ work, celebrating songwriting that connects across generations while giving two modern classics fresh perspective.
