The Next Day is scheduled to be released on March 12 but is now streaming absolutely free (minus the bonus songs present on the “premium version”) via iTunes.
I’ve listened to the album all the way through once and, now roughly half-way through a second listen, all I can say is: Mr. Bowie, I’m glad you’re back.
Two early favorite songs (thus far) are The Stars (Are Out Tonight) and Valentine’s Day.
Good stuff.
