David Bowie‘s first album in ten years, “The Next Day,” is streaming right now on iTunes. You can’t buy it yet. But you can hear it, and it’s great. Sony will leave up the stream for a few days just to whet appetites. The release is significant because audiences have resisted new music by older artists. But everything on “The Next Day” is new new new, no covers or remakes. On the iTunes stream you have to listen to the whole album– there’s no coding and no track list. There are 14 songs on “Next Day.” PS No one has said this yet, but will Bowie’s son Duncan Jones (formerly Zowie Bowie)–who’s made “Moon” and other films– direct a video for his dad?
