Today's Morning Edition music is from the song "Dollar Days" a track from David Bowie's new album "Blackstar," which was released Friday on Bowie's 69th birthday.
It's his 25th studio album and aside from this song, the album has an experimental jazz feel to it.
In their review, the Guardian calls it "ambiguous and spellbinding ... a rich, deep and strange album that feels like Bowie moving restlessly forward, his eyes fixed ahead ... the position in which he's always made his greatest music."
