1969年David终于拣回音乐，出版了第二张同名专辑，也就是《Space Oddity》，这也是他第一张转型唱片，从唱片内页上可以看出David的转变，早期拘谨的短发和厚重头发帘被有些贵族味道的卷发取代，羞涩的眼神变得坦然，David开始变得像个明星了，或者说，他开始像一个花花公子了。

他的民谣歌曲被一些优美而有些怪异的歌曲取代。然而，这些还仅仅是个开始。

David以这个造型开始， 走上了星运坦途。

Originally released as Man of Words/Man of Music, Space Oddity was David Bowie's first successful reinvention of himself. Abandoning both the mod and Anthony Newley fascinations that marked his earlier recordings, Bowie delves into a lightly psychedelic folk-rock, exemplified by the album's soaring title track. Bowie actually attempts a variety of styles on Space Oddity, as if he were trying to find the ones that suited him best. As such, the record isn't very cohesive, but it is charming, especially in light of his later records. Nevertheless, only "Wild Eyed Boy from Freecloud" and "Memory of a Free Festival" rank as Bowie classics, and even those lack the hooks or purpose of "Space Oddity."
