David Bowie BlackstarWatch at the source

"Blackstar" arrives as a ten-minute art-rock ritual, released just two days before Bowie's death and designed as a parting statement. Johan Renck's video splits between a blinded, jewel-skulled astronaut stranded on an alien moon and Bowie himself convulsing in a candle-lit chamber, backed by gospel-inflected wails. TheButtonEyed Woman worshipping the skull feels less like narrative than fever dream—opaque, unsettling, and deliberately cryptic.
