For those wondering—no, this isn’t about love or relationships. And no, I’m not some kind of love guru—sorry to disappoint! But what I did come across was a fantastic cover that instantly grabbed my attention. Zaho de Sagazan took on David Bowie’s 1983 classic Modern Love, and let’s be real—covering Bowie is no small feat. When it comes to cover songs, they can either be a hit or a total miss. Some stray so far from the original that they feel unrecognizable, while others strike that perfect balance between tribute and reinvention. In Zaho’s case, it’s clear she approached this cover with deep respect for Bowie’s artistry.
The result? A rendition that channels the infectious energy of the original while adding a softer, more ethereal touch. I expected a mellow, toned-down version—but I couldn’t have been more wrong (and I’m so glad I was). Zaho’s take preserves that signature groove, while the rich vocal harmonies in the chorus elevate it to something almost magical. And that muted guitar riff at the start? It’s the perfect nod to Bowie’s essence, seamlessly blending nostalgia with a modern twist. The moment the drums kick in, you just know you’re in for a ride. So, do yourself a favor—give it a listen and see if it reignites the same spark Bowie lit all those years ago.
