Olivia Rodrigo has tapped David Byrne to cover ‘Drivers Licence’ in honour of her debut single’s fifth anniversary. It’s strange in a way I suppose might fit Byrne’s oddball personality, but I struggled not to turn it off before the chorus. It’s rather awkward, but you can make up your own mind about it below.
According to a press release, Byrne’s cover is “just the first in a series of covers tied to the fifth anniversary of Sour.” It’lll be out as a 7″ vinyl single on April 3 alongside Rodrigo and Byrne’s version of Talking Heads’ ‘Burning Down the House’, which was recorded at the 2025 Governors Ball.
Rodrigo’s last album was 2023’s GUTS.
