BBC Radio 6 premiered David Bowie's new track "Sue (or in a Season of Crime)" recently, and a rip of the tune has surfaced online.
Consequence of Sound points out that the seven-minute song will be included on the upcoming Bowie compilation Nothing Has Changed, due out Nov. 18. The jazz-oriented song was recorded with the Maria Schneider Orchestra and is the first piece of new music since last year's The Next Day. Listen to the single at the bottom of the page.
Nothing Has Changed will be released in various formats including a deluxe, three-disc package featuring song's from Bowie's 50-year career. The release will include hits like "Heroes," "Under Pressure," "Fame" and "Ziggy Stardust."
Recently, longtime Bowie producer Tony Visconti was misquoted by CNN when he explained that the singer would be releasing another album. Visconti took to Twitter to clarify the remark, which he said was about the new song "Sue." "CNN, I didn't say new Bowie album 'soon'. I quoted THE MAN who said 'More Music Soon' on Bowienet. That music is Sue," he tweeted.
Bowie's last album, The Next Day, was his first new release in 10 years. "The Next Day has a strong connection to the late-1970s period when Bowie and producer Tony Visconti made their Berlin trilogy of Low, Heroes and Lodger," Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield wrote. "It also has the low-register guitar attack of Scary Monsters. The songs are in the reflective mode of his excellent (if crazily underrated) midlife LPs: Earthling and Hours in the late 1990s, Heathen and Reality in the early 2000s. The sharp-edged guitars suit the tunes - wry, soulful, adult, resistant to maudlin hysterics or overwrought sentiment."
