In a stunning revelation that will send shockwaves through the music world, David Bowie's clandestine final recording project, hidden from public view for over two decades, is finally being prepared for release.
The legendary artist, in what would become his last creative act, secretly recorded an album titled 'Toy' in 2000-2001. This extraordinary project saw Bowie completely reimagining and re-recording songs from his earliest years as a fledgling artist in the 1960s.
According to producer and longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, who spoke exclusively about the project, Bowie was in phenomenal creative form during these sessions. "He sang great, he was in fine voice. It was a wonderful experience," Visconti revealed, describing the recording process as particularly special.
The album represents a remarkable full-circle moment for Bowie, returning to material he had created before achieving worldwide fame. This wasn't merely a re-recording exercise; it was a complete artistic reinterpretation with the wisdom and skill of a mature master revisiting his youthful work.
Despite the project's completion and Bowie's own enthusiasm for the material, 'Toy' was mysteriously shelved and remained locked away in the vaults. The reasons for its suppression have remained one of music's best-kept secrets—until now.
The Bowie estate has now confirmed that this lost chapter of the icon's incredible career will finally see the light of day, giving fans worldwide the opportunity to experience what Visconti describes as "Bowie's last great masterpiece."
This posthumous release promises to offer not just new music, but a profound insight into the artistic mind of one of music's most innovative figures during what would unknowingly become his final creative period.
