I have been looking around for some Bowie covers by black artists, because I want to play all Bowie on my next Ujima show and I don’t want to get in trouble for playing too much white music. Of course my absolute dream result would be to find one of my favorite Bowie songs covered by Janelle Monáe. So here it is.
Suggestions for other tracks to play are welcome. Please note that I do know about Seu Jorge and I have the We Were So Turned On album. I reckon I have a good excuse to play “Let’s Dance” too.
If only this was real and not (apparently) a hoax.

That Starman is brilliant.
