David Bowie - The Next Day

David Bowie — The Next Day (2025 Remaster) 2LP

After a decade away from the studio, the sessions for The Next Day happened in secret; producer Tony Visconti says of that time, "We vowed not to tell a soul that David and we were making a new album — and that even included our domestic partners. His two-fold purpose was to write and create without pressure from the outside, plus he wanted its release to be a complete surprise.

"It all worked out great, except when he was spotted a few times walking to and from The Magic Shop studio in Noho, Manhattan, raising quizzical eyebrows. I was stopped once by a fan who recognized me and asked, 'Is David Bowie making a new album?' I said, 'Absolutely not!' Later, when we had rough mixes of our efforts, I was walking around Manhattan with a big smile on my face. No one could possibly know that I was listening to new Bowie songs on my earbuds."

Those sessions produced so many songs that those additional tracks along with two remixes were included on The Next Day Extra.
