David Bowie, “The Stars (Are Out Tonight)”
“Where Are We Now,” the first single from David Bowie’s upcoming album The Next Day, had a kind of sleepy, dreamy quality that, while gorgeous, had us wondering if the former Ziggy Stardust was mellowing into a kind of hypnotic crooner in his old age. Not so with “The Stars (Are Out Tonight).” The album’s second single proves that Bowie is still bizarre, gender-bending rock god he always was. The Floria Sigismondi-directed video features Tilda Swinton as both Bowie’s devoted suburban wife and frenzied doppelganger. Androgynous celebrity demons and other Bowie look-alikes invade the couple’s sanitized and stylized domesticity in this creepy/sexy clip. This is the Bowie we all hope lives forever!

Sacrilege is AMAZING! yyy always know what a wanna hear and when. Plus this sounds like itll go well with Charlie XCX thats comin out a month after. 2013 is already better musically than last year!
Tilda Swinton is amazing in the vid. Itll take a couple listens for the song to sink in but thats what visuals are for!
