David Bowie’s Restless Musical Journey Continues on His Final Album: Acclaimed, Intriguing, Jazz-BackedBlackstarSounds Spectacular on 180g LP With See-Through Die-Cut Gatefold Cover

The otherworldlyBlackstaris a musical journey like no other and serves as further evidenceDavid Bowiewould not rest on his laurels or repeat the past, even in his final days. In every regard, the British legend’s final studio album, released days before his death from cancer in January 2016,bows as one of the most focused, intriguing, nuanced, and multi-textured recordings of his incomparable career. Co-produced with longtime collaboratorTony Viscontiand featuring seven new tracks,Blackstarshows the chameleon-like artist in peak form while also pursuing jazz directions. Boldly both departing from and finding new ways to express pop music,Blackstarhas drawn rave reviews from both sides of the Atlantic.

Mojostates “it’s breathtakingly apparent that David Bowie isn’t so much back on the horse as riding bareback towards a cliff edge.”Uncutpraises its “nuanced approach,” whileQsays it entices “you to follow Bowie further down this freshly rediscovered, individualistic path where sonic surprises lurk around every corner.”Rolling Stonedeclares it “a ricochet of textural eccentricity and pictorial-shrapnel writing.” This is a must-hear recording.

Columbia’s180-gram LPis housed in aspecial die-cut cover art gatefold jacketand includes a 16-page color booklet with custom varnish. The die-cut cover allows you to “look through” and see the vinyl inside. Most importantly, the sonic quality meets the level ofBowie‘s boundary-pushing artistry.
