David Bowie premieres ‘Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)’ in advance of upcoming 3-disc compilation.
David Bowie is set to release his greatest hits/rarities collection Nothing Has Changed on November 17th. And he offered a teaser, premiering new song ‘Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)’ on BBC’s Radio 6 program.
While this is a new track, it sounds decidedly old-school, drenched in acidic jazz funk that wouldn’t be out-of-place on ‘Diamond Dogs.’ The 7-minute opus was recorded with composer Maria Schneider and 17-piece band. The lyrics paint a dark picture of a morbidly doomed romance. The composition is decidedly layered, avant-garde and ambition in a way that only Bowie can deliver without descending into chaos.
