jazzy_daveBBE Music announces forthcoming David Bowie tribute album ‘Modern Love’ with first single ‘Space Oddity’ reinterpreted by Grammy-nominated twin sisters We Are KING.
Much lauded by the likes of Rolling Stone, TIME, Glamour and The New York Times, We Are KING‘s ethereal, synth-laden soul sound has earned them the #1 position on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and their self-titled debut album placed within the Top Ten on the Independent and R&B Album charts. The duo has also contributed writing, production, vocals, keys and arrangements to Corrine Bailey Rae, Bilal, Robert Glasper, Sam Sparro and The Foreign Exchange among many others.
Released on David Bowie’s birthday (January 8th 2021), their cover of his surprise 1972 hit ‘Space Oddity’ is a paean to this wholly singular and somewhat eccentric anthem. Smooth, subtle and assured, We Are KING’s version remains true to the original, while blending in just enough soul to make it their own.
