And as with its predecessor, the release date of January 8th coincides with the singer's birthday - his 69th.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBowie presents a total of seven new songs on \"Blackstar\", which, as we have come to expect from his albums, have little to do with his previous records. While \"The Next Day\" was a musical career retrospective in terms of Bowie's styles, this time he ventures a 42-minute excursion into jazz with \"Blackstar\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo do so, he quickly grabbed the local jazz elite and took them to New York's \"The Magic Shop\" studio, where he produced the album together with Tony Visconti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to jazz, other influences can also be heard on \"Blackstar\": electronica, dubstep and, of course, pop. According to co-producer Visconti in an interview with Rolling Stone, rapper Kendrick Lamar can also be heard, whose last album \"To Pimp A Butterfly\", like Bowie's records, was influenced by numerous different styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA first taste of \"Blackstar\" was released on November 20, 2015 with the title track. Here, pop elements meet jazzy saxophone, marching drums and a hint of Gregorian chant. Bowie's voice is almost on the same level as the instruments. The result is a spherical and hypnotic whole that gradually casts a spell over you with its monumental nine minutes and 57 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe accompanying video, which can probably be described as a short film due to the length of the song, was shot by none other than Johan Renck, who has already directed the series \"Breaking Bad\" and \"The Walking Dead\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \"Blackstar\", David Bowie reinvented himself one last time - we would have expected nothing less from him. The album is further testimony to his genius and cross-genre creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n    \u003ch2\u003eReview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic rating: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-10\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 5.0 out of 5.\"\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003cstrong\u003eAllMusic users: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003cdiv class=\"Stars rating-9\" aria-label=\"Rating of this product is 4.5 out of 5.\"\u003e\n          (3,703 votes)\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n          \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allmusic.com\/album\/mw0002894417\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead the AllMusic.com review\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \n  \n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/david-bowie\"\u003eDavid Bowie\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/columbia-records-record-label\"\u003eColumbia\u003c\/a\u003e, ISO Records, Sony Music\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_europe\"\u003eEurope\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pop-rock-vinyl-records\"\u003ePop \u0026amp; Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/art-rock\"\u003eArt Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/experimental\"\u003eExperimental\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-rock\"\u003eJazz-Rock\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/prog-rock\"\u003eProg Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+%E2%98%85+(Blackstar)\"\u003e★ (Blackstar)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+'Tis+A+Pity+She+Was+A+Whore\"\u003e'Tis A Pity She Was A Whore\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+Lazarus\"\u003eLazarus\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+Sue+(Or+In+A+Season+Of+Crime)\"\u003eSue (Or In A Season Of Crime)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+Girl+Loves+Me\"\u003eGirl Loves Me\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+Dollar+Days\"\u003eDollar Days\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=David+Bowie+I+Can't+Give+Everything+Away\"\u003eI Can'T Give Everything Away\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Columbia, ISO Records, Sony Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44155427487809,"sku":"3434618","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/0888751738713.jpg?v=1783578610","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/david-bowie-blackstar-33082","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
