Have you just listened to Earthling and Hours?
Actually those are the ones I haven't!
I like Bowie well enough but to be honest he's never been an artist I took too deeply with - there's very few songs from him than mean much to me beyond some general degree of appreciation or enjoyment. Not the case with
Blackstar, though, the album just resonated with me like no other of his so far did. Great tunes, great moods, interesting subjects and a very soulful delivery the likes which I've only seen of him in his latter days though never paired with material this good.
