The video and song for Blackstar are even more astonishing.
For various reasons I was never a big Bowie fan, but Blackstar was one of the few tracks from anyone ever that made me think "WTF did I just hear/watch?!" - and I mean that in a good way.
Some people make music. Bowie invented mythologies, turned them into sung performance art, and put them out on vinyl and CD.
The lead single is called "Lazarus" and the first line of the song is "Look up here, I'm in heaven."
