After
summing up his maverick tendencies on Scary Monsters, David Bowie aimed
for the mainstream with Let's Dance. Hiring Chic bassist Nile Rodgers
as a co-producer, Bowie created a stylish, synthesized post-disco dance
music that was equally informed by classic soul and the emerging new
romantic subgenre of new wave, which was ironically heavily inspired by
Bowie himself. Let's Dance comes tearing out of the date, propulsed by
the skittering "Modern Love," the seductively menacing "China Girl," and
the brittle funk of the title track. All three songs became
international hits, and for good reason — they're catchy, accessible pop
songs that have just enough of an alien edge to make them distinctive.
However, that careful balance is quickly thrown off by a succession of
pleasant but unremarkable plastic soul workouts. "Cat People" and a
cover of Metro's "Criminal World" are relatively strong songs, but the
remainder of the album indicates that Bowie was entering a songwriting
slump. However, the three hits were enough to make the album a massive
hit, and their power hasn't diminished over the years, even if the rest
of the record sounds like an artifact.
