So why won’t singer, David Bowie, ever release a new album? Why did he leave people wondering if he’ll ever release a new one or not? This could explain it! Like I said before, he’s definitely not retired from music ’cause over the years, he kept releasing live albums and re-masters/re-issues of his classic albums. The reason he left so many people wondering if he’ll ever release something new is that back in 2001-2002, he was going to release an album called, “Toy”, but Virgin records rejected the album. It’s not that Virgin didn’t like the album, I’m sure they loved it, but the reasons they didn’t release it is because of contract disputes, rights issues,  lack of popularity, and due to David starting his own record label. The songs on “Toy”, were supposed to feature 4 new songs and the rest of the songs were re-works of his classic songs.

Last year in 2011, this album, “Toy” was leaked on the internet. The album was getting very positive reviews by the listeners. So far, I haven’t seen anything negative said about the album. So I listened to some of it myself, and I’m like, “Damn, this is really good stuff”. It is a really good album. For some reason, David never bothered to find a different label to release this album on. This album have never found it’s release. It’s a shame since it sounded like it could be one of David’s best albums.

Why is David holding out on this album? Does he still plan on releasing it in the future? Or will he scrap it (since so many people heard it already) and come out with a totally different album. Like I said he’s definitely not retired from music completely ’cause he’s still doing other side projects for other artists (most notably his collaboration with Scarlett Johansson). I’m looking at forums and youtube, and fans are still wondering to this day if David will ever come back. I’m hoping the same thing.

Well, David doesn’t need to work too much anymore ’cause he’s made so much money from his earlier career and his movie career. Plus, the man has health problems as he had a heart attack in the past and other things. He’s also a family guy, so I can’t blame the guy for wanting to slow down and take it easy.

I’m sure Bowie will be back. Maybe he’s just waiting for the right time?

Enjoy the album, “Toy”, below in it’s entirety.
