David Bowie’s “Blackstar” Turns 10

Today David Bowie’s final album “Blackstar” turns 10. Which also means it’s been 10 years since he sadly left us. This album means a lot to me. Not only is it a superb album, but it was the first album I reviewed back when I started “MELT Reviews,” so you can imagine my surprise and shock when Bowie passed away just a couple of days later. It was insane to me that at this stage in his career he managed to make one of his best albums in his extensive discography, and even in his final days drew influence from contemporary artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Death Grips. This is a perfect album. Happy 10th Anniversary to “Blackstar,” and Rest In Peace Starman.
