Liz Phair has released her first new song in two years. “Hey Lou” is a tribute to Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson, and their accompanying music video features puppet versions of iconic artists. The single refers to Anderson’s classic theme, “O Superman,” Andy Warhol and more. Take a look below.
“Hey Lou” is the latest single from Phair’s next studio album Sober. The song was produced by his longtime collaborator Brad Wood. Of the song, Phair said in a press release, “Have you ever wondered what love for your favorite celebrity couple looks like behind closed doors? Hey Lou imagines a day in the life of two musical legends, the union of which was an inspiration for rock bands and a source of curiosity for romantics. “
Phair shared his latest single “Good Side” in October 2019, coinciding with the release of his memoirs “Horror Stories”. He released Girly-Sound to Guyville: The 25th Anniversary Box Set in 2018; his last original music LP was in 2010 Funstyle. After the announcement of Sober, Fair said the album was coming out “provisionally” last summer. The album has not yet materialized.
