David Bowie to release ‘Blackstar’ album in 2016

David Bowie is set to release his 25th album, ‘Blackstar’, on 8th January 2016.

According to a “Bowie insider” - as reported by The Times - the follow-up to 2013’s ‘The Next Day’ consists of seven tracks, recorded at New York’s Magic Shop studio with jazz musicians.

Described by The Times as “completely bonkers”, fans can expect “an album of long, jazzy jams mixed with the kind of driving beat pioneered by Seventies German bands Can and Kraftwerk.”

‘Blackstar’’s lead single is set to come out on 19th November.
