David Bowie’s Covers of John Lennon and Bob Dylan Unearthed for 74th Birthday: Stream
Today, January 8th, would have been David Bowie’s 74th birthday. In honor of The Man Who Fell to Earth, previously unreleased covers of John Lennon and Bob Dylan have been unearthed for the public for the first time. The first recording is Bowie’s reimagining of “Mother”, which Lennon put out in 1970. This cover was originally recorded by Bowie in 1998 with longtime producer Tony Visconti.

BTS Covered X Ambassadors For a New Ad and We Need the Full Version ASAP
BTS unveiled their cover of X Ambassadors‘ “Jungle” in a new Coca-Cola commercial on Monday (Jan. 4) in Indonesia.
