What better way to celebrate David Bowie’s birthday than with a full album stream of his 25th LP? Have a full-stream listen to ★ aka Blackstar, on the day when, 69 years ago, the Thin White Duke was brought into the world.
The album includes the already-released 10-minute title track and the magnificent, haunting “Lazarus”, both of which received deliciously disturbing visuals by Johan Renck.
The album is said to be influenced by Death Grips, Kendrick Lamar and Boards of Canada, and also features LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy on percussion. It’s an indulgent leap of experimental delight, an ultimately thrilling piece of work from the living legend. Take a listen to it in full via Spotify below.
While you’re at it, have a look at some magnificent David Bowie portrait art from BFA Gallery.
