Popping culture: Bowie’s beautiful return

It doesn’t matter if you call him Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust or just David Bowie. What matters is that he’s back.

Bowie has a new album coming out, entitled The Next Day, due to be released on March 12. Today, however, marks the release of his latest single, “The Stars (Are Out Tonight).” Bowie has teamed up once again with Canadian photographer/director Floria Sigismondi for the video, which features one of the grandest dames of them all (and former Derek Jarman muse), Tilda Swinton.

Check out the video below.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
