No, and I thought for sure that was going to happen. The new songs are included on the Lazarus soundtrack instead, both the Bowie and the Michael C. Hall versions. I'm guessing they have to show up on a Bowie compilation at some point.

^^^I had to buy the Lazarus soundtrack to hear them. They're not even on Spotify (although the rest of the soundtrack is).

Nah the soundtrack used to be under the compilations section under Bowie's page. Can't find it either googling the album name alongside Sputnikmusic. I'm absolutely digging this version of Lazarus, I'm a sucker for theatre

The bad grammar and lack of punctuation by users here tend to throw me off

i mean, it should be under various artists, or the proper equivalent instead of bowie's page in the first place

As usual with Bowie, Blackstar (RCA, 2016), produced again by Tony Visconti,, is mostly image and very little about the music. The ten-minute Blackstar, that was supposed to be the centerpiece, is little more than a funereal litany a` la Doors with jazz horns that goes on five minutes too many. Bowie crooning melodramatic in Lazarus (from his Broadway musical about an alien who falls in love) or romantic in Dollar Days is either delirious and pathetic, certainly not entertaining. His tedious voice interferes with the driving jazz jam of 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore and with the frenzied and tense Sue (a 2014 single). Even when the voice is not a distraction, the rest is hardly intriguing: I Can't Give Everything Away boasts an awful distorted guitar against syncopated beats and layers of electronic drones: not exactly genius. This is trivial "music" that any amateur could make, except that most amateurs would be ashamed to release it.
Bowie died of cancer in january 2016. 4/10
