David Bowie's new record Blackstar is released today to mark his 69th birthday, and you can hear the whole thing now.
The run up to the record, his 25th studio full-length, saw the release of two mini-films made with Bo Johan Renck for singles "Blackstar" and "Lazarus".
Bowie's new album follows his 2013 record The Next Day, and is out now via ISO/Columbia. The seven-track release also features "Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)" and "'Tis Pity She Was A Whore", both of which arrived in recent compilation Nothing Has Changed.
