Today, his 66th birthday, sees David Bowie releasing a new single and video, “Where Are We Now?” and announcing the release of an upcoming album, The Next Day, his first in a decade.
The Next Day was produced by long-time collaborator Tony Visconti in New York. The new song, an elegiac ode to the past apparently, has an accompanying video directed by installation artist Tony Oursler that was shot in the auto repair shop underneath the apartment where Bowie lived in Berlin in the late 1970s.
Momus turned around a cover of “Where Are We Now?” rather quickly this morning.
