David Bowie - Scary Monsters

I spun this on the cusp of coming down with the April Flu that ripped through my work.

I’m ashamed to admit I thought I knew this album. On further listen I don’t think I had really listened to it properly before despite owning it for years. It wasn’t until last year through this blog I discovered via my friend that the Japanese vocals on It’s No Game, are by Michi Hirota who features on the album cover of Sparks Kimono My House.

David Bowie - Blackstar

Bowie was one of the few celebrities that when they died I was bereft. A lot of significant friendships, relationships, and moments in my life have formed over a mutual love for Bowie who has been the soundtrack throughout. It took me a long time to be able to listen to this album. I remember after my major surgery in 2021 being ploughed on pain meds and listening to this on headphones. That was an experience. Inspired by Kendrick’s To Pimp a Butterfly, it still manages to sound different, but Bowie, but timeless. A true artist.

I really enjoyed re listening to this today.
