Robert Fripp departs (again) and Stevie Ray Vaughan steps in on guitar. Bowie goes even more mainstream with an album of mostly pop and dance songs, beginning what he called his "Phil Collins years." Bowie wound up with four hit songs on this album; "Modern Love", "China Girl" (from "The Idiot" by Iggy Pop), "Let's Dance", and "Cat People (Putting Out Fire)" (originally recorded by Bowie for the remake of the "Cat People" film and re-recorded for this album.)
The rest of the album features three original songs and one cover, and all four songs are rather unremarkable and forgettable.
This album marks the beginning of my losing interest in David Bowie's future studio albums until he formed "Tin Machine" in 1988.
3/5
