'David Bowie is' exhibition at Victoria & Albert Museum, London (23 March - 11 Aug '13) // Words: Saam Das
At face value, it may appear that the V&A are attempting to cash-in on the recent David Bowie revival, which has culminated in a number one UK album. Yet this new David Bowie is exhibition has been the fruit of three years of hard work. Bowie's re-appearance has given the exhibition a deserved boost - an impressively comprehensive and immersive exploration into the career of David Bowie.

David Bowie - 'The Next Day' (UK Release: 8 March '13) // Words: Rajan Lakhani
David Bowie has nothing to prove to anyone - having not just mastered but arguably delivered definitive albums across many genres, from glam rock to funk, soul to ambient. Not only has his music been a constant in my life since I discovered it, but he has been a gateway to so many other brilliant musicians for me. Yet he has returned with new music, which has been met with the warmest of receptions. So can the 'The Next Day' live up not only to the hype but also his classic albums from the 70s?

David Bowie’s return to music is as welcome as it is unexpected, showing he has not lost his power to astound. Listen to his unexpected new single 'Where Are We Now?' below - inspired by his son Duncan Jones' excellent debut film, 'Moon', which features the title as its opening phrase.
