All Is Hunky Dory For Rachel

I see your face in mine…

In a follow-up to our Rachel Stevens story we posted on Monday (09.29.03 NEWS: RACHEL STEVENS HAS A POP AT DAVID BOWIE) it seems that the lovely lass is taking the links to David Bowie’s classic Hunky Dory album a little further. In the week that her debut solo album, Funky Dory, looks set to enter the Top Ten of the official UK album chart Rachel has released a picture of herself in a familiar pose… keep watching the image above for a glimpse.

As reported in this morning’s Daily Mirror here in the UK, Rachel had this to say about her decision to mimic the Hunky Dory cover:

I absolutely love this shot – it’s really different. I’ve become a bit of a Bowie fan recently – really from the influence on the album title and on one of the tracks. I thought it would be fun to recreate the original album cover and to do something which was different to a normal shoot.

Apparently a spokesman for Bowie (And no, it wasn’t me before you all start!) said: “It’s an interesting way to get classics over to so-called pop kids. Just imagine an S Club fan hearing Rachel’s album and then going out and picking up Hunky Dory to hear the original Andy Warhol, it’s mind-boggling.”

Lol… Mind-boggling indeed. Anyway, good luck to you Rachel, and may we all commend you on your very good taste.
