David Bowie | No Plan, the Last Video

And the posthumous David Bowie surprises keep coming, this time appropriately on what would have been the artist’s 70th birthday. A plaintive, reflective music video for “No Plan” was posted on the official Bowie YouTube page, directed by Tom Hingston. The song is apparently one of three of the last Bowie compositions (that had not appeared…

David Bowie | A Remembrance: 1947-2016

A rule-breaking rock star. Brixton’s native boy. The glam girl of Ziggy Stardust. The Thin White Duke. Fame-craver and shy Davey Jones. The Man Who Fell to Earth. Space drifter. Major Tom. Prince of Spiders. Cocaine cowboy of a-lad-insane. Blue Jean. The Goblin King. An old-fashioned gentleman. An art connoisseur. Actor. (As he credits himself…

David Bowie | Valentine’s Day (Video)

David Bowie’s official website stated that he will release a video today at 1:30 p.m. (ET) for his track, “Valentine’s Day”, from off his 2013 record “The Next Day”.

David Bowie | The Next Day (Video)

David Bowie’s latest video for the title track of his recent release, “The Next Day”, is enough to send the religious into sacrilege-screaming mode.

David Bowie | The Next Day

That’s why the record feels both nostalgic and postmodern. On the…

David Bowie | The Stars (Are Out Tonight) (Video)

David Bowie released another video for a song off his upcoming release “The New Day”, out on March 12. The rhythmic new track is called “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”, and the video is directed by Floria Sigismondi. The video is, well, certainly tongue-in-cheek, featuring Bowie and actress Tilda Swinton as a happily married couple. But the song,…

David Bowie | Where Are We Now? (Video)

Nearly a decade after his last song, famed singer-songwriter David Bowie released a new track today, coinciding with his 66th birthday. “Where Are We Now?” is an elegant ballad, led by strings and piano, and produced by Tony Visconti. It arrives with a new video featuring footage of Bowie from his time in 1970s Berlin.…
