Let's Dance [ECD]

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty

David Bowie returned to recording after a four-year break with this relatively clean-cut 1983 album. Although offering another definite new direction for Bowie, with Nile Rodgers of Chic helping to produce a stylish post-disco dance sound, Let's Dance is a mixed bag. Much of the album's success was due to its three danceable hit singles--"China Girl," a sensuous Bowie/Iggy Pop collaboration, the distinctive "Modern Love," and the funky title track. However, much of the rest of the album is bland and vapid, marking the start of serious decline in Bowie's songwriting skills. A cover of Metro's "Criminal World" and "Cat People" are the only other strong tracks here. --James Swift

    Pros & Cons :
    having the drummer and guitarist/producer from chic (tony thompson and the awesome nile rodgers) working on this obviously helped marry the two sounds together.

    Damn good 80's Bowie

    ...Just listening to this again, and I still really like it, and that is all that matters right? There are many good comments on this album, the mixing of rock and dance etc. I agree. It is also i ... read more

    the appropriate way to ask a lady to dance is, "may i have this dance?

    inappropriate title

    ...The appropriate way to ask a lady to dance is, "May I have this dance?" Or maybe, "Would you care to dance with me?"Hopefully this album will be re-released with a more appropriate title. If thi ... read more

    Pros & Cons :
    it's of course the drums of omar hakim and the excellent guitar riffs from than newbie stevie ray vaughn that bring the title song alive,which makes great use of both the mild dissonance and dance-funk flavors-basically just a more radio friendly variation of the sound you'd hear on a song like "fasion" from the previous album.

  • Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: November 23 2009 review from Amazon User
    Pros & Cons :
    almost all the songs are the kind of uptempo rock music that we used to hear a lot of in the early 1980s and rarely do today and 'modern love,' 'let's dance,' and 'china girl' are among the very best songs from that decade.

    ...True, the rest of the CD is not up to that high standard, but so few albums of the 1980s and beyond contained more than one or two memorable tracks. 'Let's Dance' is listenable throughout and is a ... read more

  • Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: February 8 2009 review from Amazon User
    Pros & Cons :
    "let's dance", will forever be the bridge between what is generally considered "classic" bowie and what came after in the 80's & 90's.

    ...That said, it's fun and has a sense of humor and you can dance to it. Well,there you have it....8 songs on the back-then "new" Bowie album of 1983. In all honesty, it was more like "5 songs" as ... read more

    Pros & Cons :
    amid records from artists like duran duran, madness, and haircut 100, "let's dance" must have seemed pretty good back in the eighties.

    ...That said, "Let's Dance" is not a pop Bowie record: it's an uninspired, emotionally-constipated and mechanically-constructed assemblage of flat grooves and straight beats that are too straight to ... read more
