Originally released in 1987, David Bowie’s "Never Let Me Down” saw the artist striving to return to more guitar-driven, rock tunes. With new production, the seeds of this reimagining were first sown in 2008 when Bowie asked Mario McNulty to remix the track 'Time Will Crawl' and record new drums by longtime Bowie drummer, Sterling Campbell along with strings. The track was issued on the iSelect compilation to great acclaim, and in the notes, for that record, David remarked 'Oh, to redo the rest of that album’.
Fast-forward to early 2018 McNulty entered Electric Lady Studios in New York with Sterling, Tim Lefebvre on bass, who was in the ★ ("Blackstar") band and Reeves Gabrels and David Torn on guitars. All of the musicians had a history with David, so they were a perfect fit for what now sound like brand new songs. Nico Muhly, whom Mario first met when they were both interns working for Philip Glass in 2001, has handled the string arrangements.
"Never Let Me Down" was originally written and recorded entirely for Bowie's following planned tour, the legendary Glass Spider Tour, therefore much of the album's material feature spoken introductions; ethereal verses and grand, impressive choruses.
