Here's the first single from the unreleased David Bowie album coming in January

2021-09-29 00:00:00

After David Bowie played the Glastonbury music festival in 2000, he hit the recording studio to reimagine a set of songs that he first recorded in the late 1960s. The album, titled Toy, will finally be released on Bowie's 75th birthday, January 7, 2022. Above is the first single. From Rhino:



The seeds of TOY were first sown in 1999 during the making of an episode of VH-1 Storytellers. David wanted to perform something from his pre-'Space Oddity' career, so he reached back to 1966 and dusted off 'Can't Help Thinking About Me' for the first time in thirty years. The song remained in the setlist for the short promotional tour for the 'hours…' album, and in early 2000 David and producer Mark Plati compiled a list of some of Bowie's earliest songs to re-record.
