David Byrne has shared a new statement to his social media platforms about his new album American Utopia, which is streaming now and officially out on March 9. In the note, Byrne addresses the lack of female collaborators on his album: “I'd like to thank those of you who wrote for calling attention to this—this matters a lot to me,” he wrote. “This lack of representation is something that is problematic and wide spread in our industry. I regret not hiring and collaborating with women for this album-it's ridiculous, it's not who I am and it certainly doesn't match how I've worked in the past.” Find the full note below.
