guest singer from bradford - hannah hu.

from record collector magazine :

Listening Wind is very much a meeting of friends old and new; a Talking Heads song on which you’ve given a young English singer, Hannah Hu, the lead vocal.

...Talking Heads and The Specials never crossed paths back in the day, but David Byrne did produce the second Fun Boy Three album [Waiting], so there’s history between him and Terry and Lynval.

Terry didn’t want to sing it, he thought it would be more interesting to go in a different direction. Hannah’s a singer Terry came across, she plays gigs of her own, and her voice also adds a lot to Freedom Highway and Everybody Knows. She’s an important component of the 2021 Specials...
