The run up to the record, his 25th studio full-length, saw the release of two mini-films made with Bo Johan Renck for singles "Blackstar" and "Lazarus".
Bowie's new album follows his 2013 record The Next Day, and is out now via ISO/Columbia. The seven-track release also features "Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)" and "'Tis Pity She Was A Whore", both of which arrived in recent compilation Nothing Has Changed.
