Whose 2018 LP is titled " American Utopia"?

Whose 2018 LP is titled “American Utopia”? The answer is David Byrne.

Released on March 9, 2018, American Utopia was Byrne’s eighth studio album and his first solo record since 2004’s Grown Backwards. It appeared through Byrne’s Todomundo label in partnership with Nonesuch Records, and its ten songs explore connection, society, technology, and the search for a better way of living.

Byrne is best known as the lead singer and principal songwriter of Talking Heads, but American Utopia belongs to his solo catalogue. The album followed a long period in which he worked across music, visual art, writing, and performance. Its production involved Rodaidh McDonald, known for work with artists including The xx and King Krule.

A common mix-up is confusing the 2018 album with David Byrne’s later American Utopia stage production. The Broadway show and Spike Lee’s 2020 concert film used songs from the album alongside Talking Heads material and other selections, but Byrne is the artist whose LP carries the title.
