St. Vincent & David Byrne cover Stevie Wonder’s "Chemical Love"
St Vincent & David Byrne joined forces last night, covering Stevie Wonder's "Chemical Love" at a Brooklyn Academy of Music event.
Byrne was among the honorees at the BAM Gala, alongside Spike Lee and the real estate attorney Claire Wood. Gina Duncan, president at BAM, said the three had “built community around their work,” and commended Byrne for “always exploring, always trying new things, and also really thinking about how to use his work, his curiosity, and his platform to build communities that think about how we can solve some of the problems that are really plaguing the world,” according to the Daily News.
The pair who are longtime collaborators, even releasing album – 2012's Love This Giant – reunited on stage to cover Stevie Wonder.
