We Are KING’s Amber and Paris Strother said in a press release, “There were so many amazing Bowie compositions to choose from, but“ Space Oddity has always been our favorite. ”It’s very visual; I’ve always felt like traveling back in time in a song. It tells a lively and fictional story about Major Tom’s journey through space and it was a great experience to re-imagine what it would be like to be in the flight. “

Compilation BBE Modern love To highlight Bowie’s relationship with spirit, R&B, jazz, funk, and gospel that influenced his work. The project is curated by Music Executive Director and DJ Drew McFadden, along with BBE Music founder Peter Adarkwah. “I felt the relationship between Bowie and R&B, jazz, funk, gospel and all things spiritual, hadn’t been explored before,” McFadden said in the press materials. “At least not much of the covers, which lean more toward rock and pop. Sure, there have been a lot of Bowie covers over the years, but none of them have really taken advantage of what seems to be a big part of his core musical style and direction.”
