The release date for Blackstar coincides with David's birthday. The album's title track is the first single, and is accompanied by a short film visual by the acclaimed director Johan Renck. Music from the Blackstar single has been featured in the opening title credits and trailers for the new TV series The Last Panthers. The series, also directed by Johan Renck, began airing across Europe in late October, 2015, and will premiered in the U.S. on SundanceTV in the Spring of 2016.

Bowie fans consider this final Bowie studio album a masterpiece that serves as a beautiful meditation on death, with excellent production and a hauntingly sad emotional depth. The album features a jazz feel and receives praise for its incredible artistry.
