She has added new lyrics to each of the songs in African languages, responding to David Byrne's verses.

She told Rolling Stone, external: "When I went into exile in Paris in 1983, I discovered so much new music, and among them was the song Once in a Lifetime.

"Initially, it felt strange to me. People said it was rock & roll, but it felt African somehow."

She will be performing her reinterpretation of Remain in Light at the Southbank Centre in London on 8 June.

Classic Beach Boys songs like God Only Knows and Sloop John B have been reworked by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

The new album - which is out 8 June - pairs the Boys' original vocal performances with new symphonic arrangements recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

Brian Wilson says: “I always knew the vocal arrangements I did back in the 1960s would lend themselves perfectly for a symphony."

Years & Years are playing at the Roundhouse in London in July.
