Imelda Reimagined! New Here Lies Love Album Will Feature Remixes of the Dance Club Score

Keep dancing! The off-Broadway musical Here Lies Love will release an album featuring reimaginings of David Byrne and Fatboy Slim’s energetic score. The album, The Remix Collection from Here Lies Love, will be available from September 30, with all proceeds going toward Gawad Kalinga, a charity dedicated to typhoon relief and ending poverty in the Philippines.

The 14-track album will feature tracks by sound editor Matt Stine that combine music from the cast album and the show, as well from the all-star album that featured the likes of Tori Amos, Sia and Florence Welch. Listeners can expect to hear bits from the pulsating dance club score, including the title song, “When She Passed By,” “Child of the Philippines” and more.

Here Lies Love tells the story of Filipina First Lady Imelda Marcos, her meteoric rise to celebrity and subsequent descent into infamy. The production is an immersive theatrical experience that puts audience members directly into the action in a 360-degree scenic and video environment. The show goes beyond Marcos’ legendary obsession with shoes and explores the tragic consequences of the abuse of power.
