BBE 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.
“There were so many amazing Bowie compositions to choose from but Space Oddity has always been our favorite- it’s so visual; it has always felt like time travel in a song. It tells such a vivid and imaginative story of Major Tom’s trip through space and it was such a cool experience to reimagine what it’d be like on the voyage” - We Are KING.
Like BBE album ‘Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads’ did for the music of Radiohead back in 2006, ‘Modern Love’ offers a fresh look at David Bowie’s diverse and transcendent back catalogue. The project is curated by Music Exec & DJ Drew McFadden, alongside BBE Music founder Peter Adarkwah.

I need another WEAREKING album, stat!
Bowie would be so proud! So freaking beautiful 😍 Everything KING does is 👌
I wish this was 20 minutes long. Glorious cover by the Queens of KING.
I can make it 20 mins long for you if you want.
Sounds so cinematic. Could easily go on a movie score.
Imagine a music video with the ladies in pastel, shiny space suits, spinning in zero g. love this song. They put their unique mark on it.
I was just thinking about this and then it popped up on my feed. Thank God!
Here for history ... Classic We Are KING FLOW. They did Bowie well and stayed true to themselves and killed this!
This is making me so happy!! I've missed their music and their energy in my life.
Wow! David Bowie would be proud. This was mesmerizing 🥰🥰🥰
What a *luscious* rendition of this classic. Thank you!
I’m in love.
Nothing short of perfection from We Are KING (as always) 🚀
Sublime. Can't wait for the full album of Bowie songs x
David Bowie would be very proud!!! This is a beautiful rendition!!!
I love this remake!!!! Soft pop/soul at its best
Amazing. It's how I always imagined the song should sound. (RIP Bowie)

This is Incredible!! I just heard it this morning on KEXP.org radio at 6am. Definitely will be checking out what else this band has done! (Hopefully more Bowie, among whatever else they do.)

Their album was the best R&B album of the past 20 years
One of my tracks of the week 💙
Хорошо!👍🏻
Love this - It's as if the Marching back brass and bass is spurring us on to better the world and Bowie is smiling down on us... Love and Hope all around...And there's even a little kick of DC10's "Not in love" Betcha this will be the soundtrack to somethin'
somehow melancholy and dreamy and spiritually motivating
Meu Deus eu chorei agora 😍💗
I almost love this.
Is there a live acoustic version anywhere on the web.............
So nobody told me about them coming out with something new?? I need new friends,cause EVERYBODY IS FIRED!!! 😑😒
love the way in this and other bowie song you use bright colors and light in shadows unique do some Freddie Mercury
Very Nice. I was a bit worried that not so well known singers were not going to be so good at covering the songs.

Sigh.
Thank You.
Just don't let Elon hear this version. It's too good for him.
