Duran Duran & Måneskin’s Victoria De Angelis – “Psycho Killer” (Talking Heads Cover)

In August, Duran Duran announced their Halloween-themed album Danse Macabre. There are a bunch of covers on the record of Siouxsie And The Banshee, the Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, and more; today, they’re sharing their rendition of Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer” with Victoria De Angelis of Måneskin.

Read what bassist John Taylor said about the collaboration:

The first time I met Vic, I asked her who her bass inspirations were. Right away, she said, “Tina Weymouth!” I said, “Me too.” When the idea of covering “Psycho Killer” came up, I thought, “I’m going to call Vic.” She loved the idea, naturally!

Victoria De Angelis added:

I got a call from John… saying he was working on a cover of “Psycho Killer,” and he wanted to ask me first about playing on it. It was insane being asked by one of the greatest bass players ever to play one of my favorite songs with Duran Duran. Absolutely insane. I’m so grateful and honored, it was so much fun recording together with John and he was so sweet to me and encouraged me to express myself and play it my own way. I’ll always remember that day.
