Blame It On: Listen to David Bowie’s new 10-minute space-aged single, ‘Blackstar’

Hashtag: New David Bowie.

This afternoon, the legendary musician has revealed the first single from his upcoming album, Blackstar, and the moody 10-minute-long title track shows some real promise and intrigue around the 4:40 mark.

Blackstar will be Bowie’s 26th studio album, and it released January 8, his 67th birthday. The album artwork — white for the compact disc and black for the vinyl — is also posted below. Blackstar is reported to feature seven songs, has a bit of a jazzy feel, and was recorded at New York’s Magic Shop studio. The title track doubles as the theme music for Sky Atlantic’s new heist drama The Last Panthers.

Dig in to the video below, which is quite the visual.
