Solamente David Bowie podía convertir su muerte en un acto artístico, un álbum bastante solido y un clásico indiscutible, canciones memorables como la homónima o Lazarus y una influencia del jazz contemporáneo que una vez más, ofrece una transformación en el sonido camaleónico de David Bowie. Una gran despedida.

His final album, recorded before his passing, stands as a deeply personal and eerily prophetic farewell. Each of its seven tracks carries its own unique weight. The album leans into a jazzy aesthetic, marking a subtle yet distinct shift in Bowie's musical direction.

The last album he recorded in his lifetime and what a prophetic and personal album he left us with. All 7 tracks are special in their own way Lazarus and the title track do stand out but the remaining tracks are also great I Can't Give Everything Away, Girl Loves Me & Dollar Days especially. The album as a whole has a jazzy feel to it and is a slight departure for Bowie. The only negative I have is that I prefer the original version of Sue.

Not for me. although Lazarus is stunning and is one of his best songs. I also enjoyed the final track but the rest of the album is not good.

One of my favourites from Bowie, a dark but great farewell. I can't read any really important message in the lyrics, but it is a very original album in my opinion. The singing is peculiar, strange... it really seems to come from the afterlife

I can’t give everything away

Oh my god

A phenomenal final album that closes out a fantastic career with possibly his greatest ever release. Bowie's words are deeply personal making it tough for anyone to listen to this album and not get emotional. His voice sounds fantastic and it helps to create this melancholic atmosphere which is so easy to get lost in. The music is ambitious and experimental as well which makes for an engaging, edge of the seat listen that captivates me right from the first second. The 3 songs on here which are outstanding are the title track, Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away. This closing track is simply sensational and it acts as a perfect send off to one of the greatest musicians of all time as it feels so personal and heart wrenching. Overall, David Bowie created the perfect farewell album that is not only musically stunning but also one of the most emotional experiences you will ever encounter.

A parting gift that showed ambition, risk and the proof of Bowie's lifelong devotion to his craft. Blackstar is a testament to making the most of every moment of your life even in your final steps that you're able to still have an impact on the world even when slipping away from it. A true masterpiece.
