David Bowie’s brand new song ‘Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)' debuted on BB6 over the weekend on Guy Garvey of Elbow’s radio show ‘Guy Garvey’s Finest Hour’.
David Bowie’s official Facebook page was quick to follow-up the exclusive first play with the following statement:
“Kicking off the programme with Life On Mars?, and describing today as David Bowie Day, Guy followed the classic 1971 Hunky Dory track with a fine spoken tribute to Bowie and his contribution to music.
“Mr Garvey’s contagious excitement in anticipation of Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime) prevailed throughout the first forty minutes, and then, after giving a list of things he doesn’t often utter, he introduced the track thus:
‘“Here’s another thing I never thought I’d find myself saying…Time now for the first play, anywhere ever in the world on the radio, of David Bowie’s new song. It’s called Sue, it’s seven and a half minutes of glorious Bowie-esque drama and it’s my absolute privilege to play it on 6 music, the greatest radio station on Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, David Bowie and Sue…”.
‘Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)’ is the new Bowie / Tony Visconti produced song to be featured on Bowie’s upcoming 50 year retrospective ‘Nothing Has Changed’.
Bowie has returned to a space=aged theme with ‘Sue’. “For those of you wondering about the relevance of today’s lyric quotation, the loose theme of the show was The Moon”.
The 7-minute jazz-infused song was recorded with the Maria Schneider Orchestra in New York in the summer of 2014.
