In what is without doubt the biggest day for music all year - we trust you’ve been out and bought your Adele, Enya and Gavin James LPs! - David Bowie has released a 10-minute film to celebrate the release of his ‘Blackstar’ single.
There’s no Major Tom, junkie or otherwise, but the title-track from the Jones boy’s upcoming album finds him back in space with the most bizarre of crews. Music-wise, it’s a ghostly sounding affair with lots of treated vocals, sax and other avant jazz embellishments. Bowie’s allowed himself to go grey and looks absolutely brilliant.
