BBEがTalking Headsの楽曲を再解釈したトリビュート作『Naive Melodies』をリリース。

『Naive Melodies』は、Talking Headsの楽曲をブラック・ミュージックの視点から捉え直したコンピレーション。キュレーションを手がけたのは、BBEのDavid Bowieトリビュート『Modern Love』を監修したDrew McFadden。彼は本作で、Talking Headsのサウンドを支えていたアフロ・ディアスポラ由来のリズムやソウルの要素に光を当てている。

Talking Headsはニューウェイヴの代表的存在として語られるが、そのリズム感覚の背景にはFela Kutiのアフロビート、Parliamentのファンク、Al Greenのソウルといったブラック・ミュージックの影響があった。本作は、その土台となったグルーヴや音響的テクスチャーを前面に出し、楽曲を別の角度から描き直す試みだ。

参加アーティストには、Liv.e、Bilal、Rogê、Miguel Atwood-Ferguson、Aja Monet、Georgia Anne Muldrow、Theo Croker、Kenny Dope、Rosie Lowe、Pachyman、W.I.T.C.H.らが名を連ねる。アフロビート、ジャズ、ソウル、ファンク、ゴスペル、ダブ、エレクトロニカ、オーケストラル、ラテンまで幅広いスタイルが交差し、原曲の骨格にあったリズムの強さを改めて浮かび上がらせる。

単なるカヴァー集ではない。Talking Headsのカタログを、ブラック・ミュージックの革新性という文脈に置き直す内容だ。原曲に宿っていたポリリズムやグルーヴの構造を解体し、現代の感覚で再構築することで、文化的な対話としての意味を持たせている。

ソウルフルなヴォーカル、厚みのあるホーン、跳ねるベースライン、ダブ処理された空間処理など、各トラックはリズムを軸に展開。ヴァイナルで針を落とせば、重心の低いベースと生楽器の鳴りがダイレクトに伝わり、ダンスとスピリチュアルな感覚が同時に立ち上がる。

Talking Headsを知るリスナーにも、ブラック・ミュージックの系譜を追うリスナーにも響く再構築作。

Naive Melodies is a bold and visionary tribute to the music of Talking Heads, reinterpreted through the lens of Black musical innovation. Curated by Drew McFadden — the creative mind behind BBE’s acclaimed Modern Love (David Bowie tribute album) — this new collection dives deep into the Afro-diasporic rhythms and experimental soul roots that helped shape Talking Heads’ unmistakable New Wave sound. Inspired by artists like Fela Kuti, Parliament, and Al Green — whose influences loomed large in the band’s rhythmic DNA — Naive Melodies shines a light on the Black music traditions that underpinned their artistry. Far from a conventional tribute, Naive Melodies reframes the band’s catalog through the voices and visions of a new generation of genre-defying artists. These interpretations illuminate the foundational grooves and sonic textures that fueled Talking Heads’ rhythm-forward aesthetic, bringing them full circle with authenticity. “With Naive Melodies, I wanted to spotlight the deep and often overlooked influence of Black music on the sound of Talking Heads, drawing from the rhythmic foundations of Afro-diasporic traditions, soul, gospel, Latin, and spiritual jazz. This project is a chance to reimagine Talking Heads’ legacy through the lens of the very innovations that helped shape it, bringing those influences to the forefront through the voices of today’s most forward-thinking artists.” — Drew McFadden The album features a globally minded lineup, including Liv.e, Bilal, Rogê, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Aja Monet, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Theo Croker, Kenny Dope, Rosie Lowe, Pachyman, W.I.T.C.H., and more — spanning Afrobeat, jazz, soul, funk, gospel, dub, electronica, orchestral, and Latin styles. It reflects not only the boundary-pushing ethos of Talking Heads, but also the influence of Black music as a cultural force that helped shape it. This is not just a tribute album — it’s a recontextualization. A cultural conversation. A rhythmic reawakening.
