Yep. We’re Definitely Getting a New David Bowie Album in January

David Bowie - Blackstar

While David Bowie probably won’t tour again, he seems to be intent on making more music. After a weekend of rumours, it’s been confirmed that an album entitled Blackstar will be released in January. The date? January 8, Bowie’s 69th birthday. It will be preceded by an as-yet-unnamed single on November 20.

This will be Bowie’s 25th studio album and was said to be experimental and jazzy, featuring an assembly of New York jazz musicians. Bowie, however, says that description of the music is “inaccurate.” From his website.
