“The most exciting new guitar band in Britain,” was the Guardian’s take on Black Midi shortly after the release of their debut album ‘Schlagenheim’, and they weren’t alone in adopting this view. Hyperbolic? Perhaps. But, let’s face it, music criticism has form in that regard..
Genre: Tribute album
There have been loads of David Bowie tribute shows since the star died in 2018. There have also been plenty of covers of his music, usually focusing on his Ziggy Stardust glam rock persona and music.
Modern Love was put together by Drew McFadden, the music exec and DJ, and Peter Adarkwah, founder of BBE Music, with the express purpose of showcasing Bowie’s forays into R&B, funk, gospel, soul and jazz. The liner notes describe the project as an “interactive sonic map” where 17 artists delve into some of Bowie’s lesser-known material.
Naturally, this description is bound to get fans debating whether the song selection truly suits the brief.
