Black Tie White Noise: Survivor (Round 1)

SURVIVOR

Black Tie White Noise

Black Tie White Noise. The first 90's era Bowie album I ever listened to fully, and still one of my favourites. This garnered a fair amount of praise upon release, and is credited with being the first album since Scary Monsters/arguably Let's Dance, to show the now creatively rejuvenated David Bowie on full display.

The album features some very personal, and political content, from Jump They Say, a song about Bowie's schizophrenic step-brother, who had committed suicide many years prior, to the variety of Wedding songs that were created for Bowie's wedding to Imam. On the titular track, Bowie was directly inspired by the L.A. Riots, and the Rodney King verdict, which had begun the day he and Imam, newly married, had arrived in LA to look for a new house.

On a side note, this album marks the first true reunion of Bowie and Ronson on an album since the Ziggy days, if I'm not mistaken!

Anyway, I absolutely adore the overall aura of this album, with its airy, yet exciting beats, and songs such as Jump They Say, You've Been Around, and Pallas Athena are among my favourite tracks by Bowie. Needless to say, I am quite excited for this survivor!
