Talking Heads’ Remain in Light built on Fear of Music by exploring African polyrhythms and layered grooves, with David Byrne’s detached lyrics woven into complex soundscapes. Though the single “Once in a Lifetime” initially flopped, it became iconic through its video and live performances. The album was a hit and highly influential, marking the peak of their experimental phase before a three-year break from new music.
