Dan Condon

The Stars (Are Out Tonight) has premiered online this afternoon with a very entertaining clip, featuring Tilda Swinton.

More David Bowie David Bowie Profile

The second taste of David Bowie's forthcoming The Next Day album has been unleashed to the public this afternoon, Australian time, with The Stars (Are Out Tonight) appearing online accompanied by an entertaining video clip that features Tilda Swinton in the role of Bowie's wife.

Watch the clip here:

The first single from the album drew a very mixed response from Bowie fans. As did our review of it. This new track sees Bowie pick up the pace considerably and inject a bit more of his trademark swagger than we heard from him in the previous track.

We will have a review of Bowie's 24th studio album The Next Day later on this week. It is released in Australia on Friday 8 March.
