David Bowie Unveils his 10-minute Video 'Blackstar' as a Taster for an Album Release

Along with creepy children, peculiar body jerking, a woman with a tail, solar eclipses, a dead astronaut, and many more unsettling factors, David Bowie shares his brand new intense 10-minute video called Blackstar in preparation for his album release on January 8 of next year, the very day he was born.

He is turning 69. The clip, which was directed by sometime Breaking Bad director Johan Renck, begins in space and just gets crazier as it progresses.

Mixed reviews are up for reads on the worldwide web, but not one of them left out the words creepy , weird or unsettling to describe Bowie's latest avant-garde piece. According to The Guardian's recent review for Blackstar, they stated that; "As a taster for the forthcoming album, it works perfectly".

While to Paste Magazine, David Bowie has "out-Bowied" himself in this new video. They also stated that if you want to feel uneasy for the rest of your day then you should indeed be checking this new art out. The song may sound familiar to you, for it had been used as an opening credit jam for Sky Atlantic and Sundance TV drama The Last Panthers.

David Bowie is known for his unique ways of expressing his passion for art and music since the 70's. His trademark baritone voice and intellectual angles to his work have always been remarkable. His androgynous appearance is something that is always going to be associated with him up to this day, being an iconic element particularly in the 70's and 80's.

In the words of biographer David Buckley, Bowie challenged the core belief of the rock music of its day and created perhaps the biggest cult in popular culture. Buckley also stated that Bowie's influence has been unique in popular culture - permeating and altering more lives than any comparable figure.
