“The Next Day” David Bowie (2013)

This CD seems to have it’s share of filler, but there are also some tracks that shine from Bowie’s song writing. “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)” showcases Bowie in peak form, with a driving tempo and spacey guitar. The video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gH7dMBcg-gE) features Bowie and Tilda Swinton as his wife being spied on by younger versions of themselves. “Where Are We Now?” is a veritable jazzy dirge, which, again complements Bowie’s vocals. Even weaker tunes work in the context of the whole. With a 10-year gap since his last release, this is a welcome venture.—SJA
