Unreleased David Bowie Music Hits the Blockchain

Groundbreaking audio platform, Gala music, has announced the imminent arrival of a previously unreleased version of David Bowie’s 1983 hit “Let’s Dance” as an NFT. The move comes in partnership with Warner Chappell Music and Larry Dvoskin, and the limited edition NFTs will be sold on a pay-what-you-want basis and will feature Bowie-inspired artwork. All initial proceeds from sales will go to support MusiCare’s charity.

On April 14, 40 years after the original release of “Let’s Dance,” Gala Music will release 3,003 NFTs, which provide access to an unreleased version of the song.

In 2002, Larry Dvoskin co-produced the track and later proposed releasing it as an NFT to Bowie’s estate. Surprisingly, the executive gave the green light and the new project was born. The decision was then reinforced after the discovery of an email from Bowie himself, in which he expressed his eagerness for the recording to circulate.

The music industry continues to explore the Web3 industry

Warner Chappell Music is about to achieve a significant milestone by releasing an NFT featuring the unheard version of “Let’s Dance”. The music company’s latest effort marks its “first all-native NFT deal” for a song that has never been available in any physical or digital format. This exclusive version of the classic hit will only be available through the NFT release, giving fans a unique opportunity to own a piece of music history.

Bowie’s estate has already dipped its toes into the world of NFTs, partnering with OpenSea in September 2022 to launch “Bowie on the Blockchain,” a collection of NFTs that also raised money for charity. Although the initiative faced backlash from fans who felt it did not align with Bowie’s values. The upcoming release of “Let’s Dance” as an NFT is set to be an exciting event for music enthusiasts and Bowie fans alike.

This release is not only a chance to own a unique piece of music, but also an opportunity to support a worthy cause. As the music industry continues to explore the possibilities of Web3 and blockchain technology, we expect to see more innovative and exciting releases like this, pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
