David Bowie Sings βLetβs Danceβ
Listen to this track by pioneering style-shifting era hopper David Bowie. Itβs βLetβs Danceβ, the title track to his 1983 album of the same name. The new album, his fifteenth, was something of a comeback for Bowie who found himself on top forty radio again after a period of exploring the fringes a bit with the shadowy art rock of 1980βs Scary Monsters. After a brief recording slow down between 1981-82 and a change of record labels from RCA to EMI, Bowie was interested in a more straightforward approach to making music for his next album.
Instead of competing with the New Romantics and post punk bands who were vitally influenced by his past output, he moved to other musical territories entirely. In typical Bowie style, he donned a new look and stage persona to suit the new music he was making; that of a blonde pompadoured R&B frontman inspired by Little Richard and the Isley Brothers. He also sought a more accessible and dance-oriented direction to contrast the layered and more angular approach of his previous few records. The new album title says it all. Or, at least it seems to on first listen.
To help him get the funky and dance-oriented feel he wanted, Bowie co-produced the new album with Chic guitarist, writer, and producer Nile Rodgers. A cast of crack musicians appear on this single, including an up and coming Texan guitar player called Stevie Ray Vaughn whose lead guitar lines on this song show that he had a stunning and unique instrumental voice of his own even this early on. As for Rodgersβ own contributions as an instrumentalist, the co-producer added musical sophistication to this track informed by his instinctual way with irresistibly danceable grooves.
A key element that makes βLetβs Danceβ work so well is the A-minor 13th chord featured in the songβs central riff. That small but significant compositional tweak evolved from Bowieβs original straight-ahead A-minor chord. Along with the echoey delay effect, this helped to elevate the song from its folky and funereal original form to being subtly menacing, mysterious, and sexy instead. During this post-disco period, Rodgers steered away from Studio 54-style rhythm parts completely. Instead, he touches on jazz harmony as met with post punk atmosphere. He plays his rhythm guitar part straight not syncopated and lets the delay do most of the work.
The collaboration between co-producers Bowie and Rodgers and engineer Bob Clearmountain resulted in David Bowieβs biggest single. It certainly aided in making its namesake album into his best-selling record. Because of these successes, lot of fans of his Berlin period and of Scary Monsters suggested that Bowie had sold out to the mainstream instead of continuing to push the artistic envelope into edgier territory. To them, his new music was too fit for radio and (worst of all) for casual listeners. Preppies were buying this record! Scandal!
With Grammy nominations and wins and heavy rotation on MTV, it was easy to miss what lies beneath this tune that was a top forty radio staple by 1983. Delving deeper, βLetβs Danceβ deals in many of the same areas of concern Bowie explored in his earliest work. One of these is the theme of isolation and the alienation that goes along with it. The lyrical call this tune makes is not about a joyous night out partying or in mindlessly dancing to any old song that happens to be playing on the radio. The dancing described here is a dance of danger.
The moonlight under which that dance happens is not romantic moonlight β itβs serious moonlight. Itβs the light in the darkness of the times in which it was more important than ever to gather and to move as a whole society toward something better. βLetβs Danceβ is a song about peril. But itβs also one that suggests the importance of facing peril together in whatever way thatβs necessary in solidarity; if you say run, Iβll run with you. If you say hide, weβll hide. As always with Bowie, itβs a fight against the idea that such struggles are those we all must face on our own in isolation.
David Bowie reinvented once again! This promo shot found him in his Serious Moonlight period by 1983, which served as his commercial peak.Bowie was not the first artist to explore the metaphor of dance as struggle, of course. Martha Reeves & The Vandellaβs βDancing in the Streetsβ, which Bowie would (ill-advisedly?) record later on himself is one high profile example of this from decades before. The lines between a joyful night on the town and taking to the streets in angry protest are pretty blurry in R&B songs of that era. The classic side βHi-Heel Sneakersβ is another example of that and possibly even more of a parallel as reflected in the lyrics. Nearly two decades later, the put on your red shoes line is a subtle nod to what that earlier song suggested.
βLetβs Danceβ contains those same elements of danger and struggle that lurk under its celebratory surface. As far as social issues and political climates in which he wrote the song are concerned, not much had changed. With that in mind, βLetβs Danceβ is not really a party song. Itβs a song of disquiet, tension, and resistance. But itβs also a song about reaching out and rebelling against forces that keep people thinking they struggle on their own. Not much had changed there, either. In fact, this is another example in his work in which Bowie declares βyouβre not alone!β, a sentiment heβd put forward to a whole other generation over a decade before.
Regardless of that, a lot of hardcore Bowie fans dismissed βLetβs Danceβ as mere radio fodder. It was just too big a song. Even Bowie cut it from his setlists by the Nineties. By then heβd gone in other directions into more experimental areas that a big hit single in his live show wouldnβt allow. Yet for his Glastonbury performance in 2000, it returned again in a re-invented form. Before that, he performed a stripped down version in his appearance at the 1996 Bridge School Benefit. That version revealed it as a song of struggle a bit more than the original pop single version does.
Even if Bowieβs Letβs Dance made him more accessible to a wider audience by deliberately aiming for hits and capturing a new generation of listeners along with it, he was still exploring the core ideas of isolation, struggle, and a search for connection in his songwriting. This period of pop radio success was just another facet of his artistry in a career characterized by near-constant re-invention. But whatever face he wore, and whatever style he applied to his work, Bowie always plotted a steady course into some of the darker regions of the human experience in culturally resonant ways.

Enjoy!

Mandy, Indiana - Urgh
Long awaited follow-on to I've seen a way - along the same industrial/dance/noise lines as before, but MORE, and better. Most lyrics are still in French to challenge your comprehension, but as before, they go with the music...clearly cathartic for them.
Not for everyone...but pretty great.
First single video released a little while ago:
Sacred Bones Society variant.
