David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s Here Lies Love—a 2010 concept album about Imelda Marcos—gets its first vinyl release to coincide with its Broadway debut. This double-disc disco-pop opera explores the rise and fall of the Filipino First Lady with a star-studded cast including Cyndi Lauper, Steve Earle, Sharon Jones, Natalie Merchant, and St. Vincent. With vibrant beats and Latin rhythms, the music contrasts with the regime’s dark history, offering an imaginative, empathetic glimpse into Marcos’ inner world without overt judgment or mention of her notorious shoe collection.
