Fans have been waiting 10 years for new material from David Bowie, however, today, on his 66th birthday, the waiting is over with the release of a brand new single 'Where Are We Now?'
In addition to the new single, which is available now on iTunes, David Bowie is also set to release a new studio album. Titled 'The Next Day', the new record is his 30th studio album and is available as a pre-order now with a release date scheduled for March.
New single 'Where Are We Now?' is released on David's 66th birthday, which his official website has described as a "timely moment for such a treasure to appear as if out of nowhere". The track was produced by long-term collaborator Tony Visconti and was written by David and recorded in New York.
The single's accompanying music video is directed by Tony Oursler and takes us back to David's time in West Berlin between 1976 and 1979. An interest in the German music scene led David to spend a lot of time in Europe, working with Brian Eno and sharing an apartment in Schoneberg with Iggy Pop.
David's last album was 2003's 'Reality' and fans have been wondering when the British musician, actor and producer would return with new material. His official website states: "In recent years radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumour and wishful thinking. A new record. Who would have ever thought it, who'd have ever dreamed it!
"After all David is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants, when he has something to say as opposed to something to sell.
"Today he definitely has something to say."
