“We’ve got five years, stuck on my eyes”
The February 2017 edition of Q magazine has ★ as Album of The Year. Here are a couple of lines from their appreciation of it…
“Blackstar was two things at the same time: a deeply moving rumination on life and death, and a vibrant reinvention on which Donny McCaslin’s jazz-trained band enabled Bowie to explore new shades of terror and wonder. An ending that could have been a new beginning.”
And this is Q’s brief description of the Bowie content in this issue...
“As part of our coverage of the year, there’s a six-page reminder why the world belonged to David Bowie in 2016 and a preview of the forthcoming David Bowie: The Last Five Years BBC documentary.”
They're pretty cool teasers regarding Francis Whately’s The Last Five Years, which we told you about at the beginning of November. It’s shaping up to be a more than worthy follow-up to 2013‘s extraordinary Five Years documentary.
The magazine also boasts a previously unpublished Jimmy King shot, which is worth the cover price alone.
Q magazine is available digitally and it’s also physically in shops now.
