Hot! David Bowie Announces First Album In A Decade

By A.D. AMOROSI

This week David Bowie famed his 66th special birthday (January 8) together with products to get his fans: reports with his / her first album in the decade, The Next Day, with images of its protect along with a observe listing, your iTunes discharge belonging to the record s melancholy primary single, Where are generally We Now? , and that single s oddball video.

Co-produced together with his longtime collaborator Tony Visconti (an arranger with 1969 s Space Oddity, a manufacturer about 1970 s The Man Who Sold the actual World), The Next Day includes stark black and white cover paintings that utes some sort of take on his Heroes album, and features 14 trails upon it has the standard challenge in addition to 17 on its luxurious version. The Next Day, Bowie's 30th facilities effort, will be released on March 12 while in the United States, the other day earlier on March 11 with the remaining portion of the world.

The first single through The Next Day is definitely "Where Are We Now? , a gradual and stately melody using a world-weary title of Bowie recalling his moment in Berlin in the mid-70s. The solo s video, directed by way of multimedia designer Tony Oursler (with whom Bowie utes worked before), is just weird sufficient and keep you way up at night. As for the song itself, somewhere between your elegantly unsteady piano, the actual crack in his pensive words plus the chorus' concern that's the song verts 7steps - it had been plenty of that will bring tears for you to my own eyes. After the single's release, Bowie ersus producer Visconti suggested (in the Guardian ) that the remainder connected with The Next Day can be rocking and brash, a mix associated with typical Bowie and impressive Bowie.

Perhaps my own tears followed from the indisputable fact that Bowie is usually nutritious and very well along with creating music on his personal stipulations as an alternative to merely shuffling out material on some sort of post paid base or stroking his or her ego. Bowie azines had a hang on myself since 70s along with the times of Ziggy Stardust. I ve seated with him inside studios when he or she vertisements made music, hung available backstage during his / her shows, tested out coloring my own tresses tangerine a la Ziggy (not a superb hunt for me), and also enjoyed Gitantes while I spied him or her using tobacco these folks throughout his / her Station to Station tour.

One with my own most interesting interviews ever had been a face-to-face, taped sit-down having Bowie around Manhattan (for Magnet Magazine, with 2002) exactly where all of us experienced a frank and hilarious discourse regarding his beyond along with present, audio I ve adored and a few that I disliked (much to help his dismay,) and your state associated with art. During your interacting with I gifted Bowie and also their girl Iman with gorgeous semi-precious stone jewellery handmade to get them by simply my personal charms creator wife Glamorosi (also a long term fan) to that they complimented, She s definitely not fucking about, is she. Two years earlier on our wedding day, our own first party as husband in addition to her conversation appeared to be to help Bowie vertisements variation connected with "Wild is the Wind".

To claim this David Bowie is a part of every aspect connected with my life could be an understatement.
