Queen Anne
Let's Dance
Queen Anne, the indie-pop project of Katie Silverman and Sandy Chila, have released their second single, a new version of David Bowie’s Let’s Dance.
Silverman, who is also known for her acting work in New Girl, PEN15, and the film The Exorcists, has previously spoken about Bowie’s influence on her creative life, of course through his music but also in the way he approached style and performance. Covering Let’s Dance gave the duo an opportunity to engage directly with that influence while reshaping the song in their own style.

Chila, a writer and producer, forms the other half of Queen Anne. The pair have been building a sound that blends the melodic sweep of 1980s pop with darker textures and a modern sensibility. Their version of Let’s Dance highlights that balance, keeping the urgency of the original while introducing a cinematic edge.
This single follows Queen Anne’s debut release and continues on that path to define their approach as they develop their catalogue. For their listeners, it offers a glimpse into the duo’s vision while paying respect to a song and artist that has left a lasting mark on modern music.
