Blackstar is David Bowie's final studio album, a haunting, restless farewell, presented here as a CD edition in softpak digipak packaging. It is the sound of an artist still pushing forward to the very end.
Released in 2016, just two days before his death, Blackstar was quickly recognised as a parting gift. Bowie recorded it in New York with a band of jazz musicians led by saxophonist Donny McCaslin, steering well clear of anything resembling a nostalgia act. The result stands among the most daring work of his later years.
The title track is a ten-minute suite that shifts from eerie chants to soft, almost hymn-like passages, drums skittering underneath. Lazarus, with its mournful horns and confessional lyrics, took on new weight after his passing. 'Tis A Pity She Was A Whore races along on frantic sax and drums, while I Can't Give Everything Away closes the album on a warm, wistful note that feels like a gentle goodbye.
Throughout, the playing is tense, inventive and spacious, blending art rock, electronic textures and jazz improvisation into something completely his own.
Seven songs, no filler, and no easy answers. Blackstar remains a vital, deeply moving chapter in a career that never stopped surprising its listeners.
