Following the release of her stunning reggae and dub versions of David Bowie’s The Man Who Sold The World to celebrate what would have been his 75th birthday last month, 2 Tone & Bodysnatchers vocalist Rhoda Dakar to play Birmingham's Night Owl this March.
Rhoda will be treating fans to a set of classics from across her whole career, as well as previewing songs from her forthcoming brand new album (due out via Sunday Best Recordings later in 2022).
Commenting on the single, Rhoda said: “I was bewitched by seeing Bowie perform “Starman” on Top Of The Pops,” Rhoda recalls. “I was 12 going on 13 and thereafter he held sway over all my teenage years. Friendships, music, clothes, attitudes - all were influenced forever. It’s hard to choose, but “The Man Who Sold The World” is one of my favourite Bowie albums.” Adding, “There had been the traditional reggae version of the title track back in the day, but the vocals lacked commitment, so we thought we’d do a proper, modern version.”
Rhoda Dakar play Birmingham's Night Owl on Saturday 12 March. Tickets are available here.
