Trey Songz shares his version of David Bowie's "Life On Mars?"
Trey Songz has covered David Bowie's "Life On Mars?" for Vinyl, HBO's music industry drama.
The original track features on Bowie's 1971 record Hunky Dory, and remains one of the late legend's most well-known singles.
Songz's rendition strips the song back to basics, with just piano and vocals on display.
Speaking to Complex Songz said:
"When I was approached last summer by the producers of Vinyl, the first thing I thought wa,s 'Damn thats a David Bowie song!!' Trey told us over email. "I was honored that the producers thought of such a legend and myself in the same breath. I had to do what I do best, because Icons like David paved the way. After learning of his passing I knew that this was a special moment in time and this cover became my personal tribute to David. Experiences like this have helped to shape my future and respect the past of others before me. This has became a very special moment in my career and I am blessed and grateful to be apart!"
