Blackstar

简介
"Blackstar" (stylised as "★") is a song by English rock musician David Bowie. It was released as the lead single from his upcoming twenty-fifth studio album of the same name on 20 November 2015 through iTunes. "Blackstar" peaked at number 70 on the French Singles Chart.
The song was originally over eleven minutes long, but Bowie and Visconti edited it down to 9:57, making it Bowie's second-longest track ever made, behind "Station to Station", which lasts just over ten minutes. This was done after they learned that iTunes would not post singles over ten minutes in length. Bowie did not wish to confuse listeners by releasing different single and album versions. "Blackstar" is an art rock and jazztronica song. Also described as a "avant jazz sci-fi torch song," it features a "drum and bass rhythm, a two-note tonal melody inspired by Gregorian chant and shifting time signatures." In the middle section, the song turns from a acid house-ish style to a sax solo to a bluesy slow middle section.
