Let's Dance - David Bowie - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Let's Dance" is a genre-blending hit by English singer-songwriter David Bowie, released as the lead single from his 1983 album of the same name. Recorded in late 1982 at New York City's Power Station and co-produced with Chic's Nile Rodgers, the track was originally conceived as a folk-rock song before transitioning into a pastiche of modern American genres. The song, spanning a full seven minutes, incorporates elements from rock, funk, dance, new wave, and post-disco. It's peppered with diverse solos, from trumpet and saxophone to guitar and percussion. Echoes of Rodgers' Chic influence are evident, particularly in the bassline and breakdowns, while the vocal intros nod to The Beatles' "Twist and Shout." The lyrics, narrating a moonlit dance of a couple, exude a thrilling mix of romance and lurking danger. Upon its release, "Let's Dance" soared to the pinnacle of charts globally, becoming David Bowie's best-selling single and ushering in a new musical era for the singer. It topped charts in the UK and US among others.
