David Bowie - Modern Love (DMC Extended Remix)

"Modern Love" is a song written by English singer-songwriter David Bowie. It was released as the opening track on his 1983 album Let's Dance and issued as the third single from the album later in the year. Co-produced by Bowie and Nile Rodgers of the American band Chic, it is a rock song that contains elements of new wave music. It was recorded at the Power Station in Manhattan and was one of the first tracks recorded for the album. It was performed by Bowie on the Serious Moonlight Tour, where it often closed the shows. A music video for the song, directed by Jim Yukich and featuring a performance of the song during the tour, was released in 1983 and played frequently on MTV.
Since its release, "Modern Love" has received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised Bowie's songwriting, its production, and its power as an opening track. It is generally considered one of the best songs on Let's Dance, along with "China Girl" and the title track, and has since been called one of Bowie's greatest songs. The single release was a commercial success, peaking at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Modern Love" has appeared on various compilation albums and was remastered for the 2018 box set Loving the Alien (1983-1988).
Modern Love" was released on 14 April 1983 as the opening track of Let's Dance. It was later released on 12 September 1983 by EMI America on seven-inch vinyl (as EA 158, featuring the shortened single version), and on twelve-inch vinyl (as 12EA 158, featuring the full length song) as the third single of the album, with a live version, recorded in Montreal in July 1983, as its B-side. The single reached number two on the UK Singles Chart, and number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. By the time "Modern Love" was issued as a single, Bowie's Serious Moonlight Tour was underway.
The song was a staple of the tour, where it closed the show on most nights, allowing Bowie to "wave bye-bye" to the crowd per the lyrics. It was featured during Bowie's set at Live Aid in 1985, and his subsequent Glass Spider and Sound+Vision tours of 1987 and 1990. He performed it occasionally during his 2003-04 A Reality Tour. To promote the Glass Spider Tour, Bowie re-recorded the song with Tina Turner for a commercial as part of his commitment to Pepsi for their sponsorship. The commercial aired briefly in 1987.
