About
Recorded after a six-year hiatus from his solo career and on the heels of his marriage to Iman, this record bursts with Bowie’s newly inspired creative ambition. Propulsive hip-hop and house beats fuse with the effusive melodies of ‘60s R&B on sophisticated urban soul tracks like "You've Been Around,” while intricately layered percussion melds with minor-key synths on the apprehensive “Jump They Say” and the trip-hop-inspired “Nite Flights,” making us want to turn our living room into our own private dance floor.
