Bryan Ferry has released 'Star,' his first original song in over a decade, which will feature on his upcoming album, 'Retrospective: Selected Recordings 1973-2023.' The track is a collaboration with painter Amelia Barratt and was initially sketched by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of Nine Inch Nails, blending elements of post-techno with a dark and elegant sound. The album, set for release on October 25, includes 81 tracks that encapsulate Ferry's 50-year solo career, showcasing both his original compositions and a variety of cover versions. Ferry expressed excitement about 'Star' and the new direction it represents, highlighting his collaboration with Barratt, whom he praised for her writing. The song is accompanied by a music video directed by Ferry himself, further blurring the lines between music and art. This release marks a significant milestone in Ferry's illustrious career as a modern music interpreter.
