Released 2 days before Bowie would ultimately pass away from his battle with cancer, the record finds Bowie once again reinventing himself. He was famous for being a stylistic chameleon throughout his whole career, and yet it was still incredibly surprising to hear him make a hip-hop inspired jazz rock album with his darkest themes yet.
Bowie's cries of "I'm a Blackstar" feel like an admission of his time coming to an end, as a literal "black star" is a dead star that is floating out in space, emitting no light at all. It seems to be a fitting description for the "Starman" who is no longer with us. This song to me feels like the sonic experience of dying, and what follows is reckoning with that fact.
Look up here, I'm in heavenI've got scars that can't be seenI've got drama, can't be stolenEverybody knows me now
"Blackstar" epitomizes everything I love about Bowie. A tireless work ethic to constantly push the artistic envelope and therein discover more within himself. The album is a monumental achievement in artistic expression, as well as artistic integrity. It's an album that sounds nothing like anything he had made previously, and yet is still so emblematic of who David Bowie was.
