Album of the Month | Here Lies Love

A double disk!
A bunch of soulful goodness, mostly female vocalists; a bit of an 80s dance throwback mixed with an alternative sound.

Here Lies Love is a concept album made in collaboration between David Byrne and Fatboy Slim, about the life of the former First Lady of the Philippines Imelda Marcos along with the woman who raised her — Estrella Cumpas — and follows Marcos until she and her family were forced to leave the Philippines.
