David Bowie has revealed an image from his upcoming best of compilation album Nothing Has Changed.
The picture was taken by his friend and photographer Jimmy King. King was involved in the photos that emerged of Bowie during The Next Day campaign.
The striking image seems to follow a pattern of Bowie’s career. The picture only shows half of his face, a theme most well displayed on the Aladdin Sane LP cover, when Bowie had a red lighting bolt splitting his face.
The photo was debuted on the singer’s Facebook page, accompanied by the message, “Look in his eyes and see your reflection…”
Bowie added “much more than that we cannot tell you right now, suffice to say, keep your eye out for next week’s NME, which will feature an explanation of the artwork concept for Nothing Has Changed, among other things.”
Nothing Has Changed takes its name from a lyric on ‘Sunday’ from the 2002 record Heathen.
The compilation is due out in November and spans fifty years of Bowie’s material from 1964-2014, including rarities such as ‘Your Turn To Drive’ and the 2001 version of ‘Shadow Man’ and James Murphy’s ‘Hello Steve Reich Mix’ of ‘Love Is Lost’.
The greatest hits will also include, the previously unreleased ‘Let Me Sleep Beside You’ from the Toy album sessions, his first ever single ‘Liza Jane’, as well as the classics ‘Ziggy Stardust’ and ‘Life On Mars?’
Nothing Has Changed is due out on November 14th.
