Toy:Box

Ah, David Bowie, the man, the myth, the legend. Toy:Box is a collection of early recordings that were meant to be Bowie's follow-up to his 2001 album "Heathen." Unfortunately for us, it never saw the light of day until now. From the moment you hit play, it's clear that Toy:Box is a delightful time capsule of Bowie's creative genius. The album kicks off with the groovy track "Uncle Floyd," a playful nod to the American comedian of the same name. Bowie's vocals are on point, as always, and the catchy melody is sure to get stuck in your head for days. As you make your way through the album, you'll be treated to a mix of rock, pop, and even a touch of cabaret. Tracks like "You've Got a Habit of Leaving" and "In the Heat of the Morning" showcase Bowie's exceptional songwriting skills and eclectic taste. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows on Toy:Box. The album does have its fair share of filler tracks that may leave you scratching your head. "Shadows of the Night" and "Let Me Sleep Beside You" feel a bit uninspired compared to the rest of the album. Overall, Toy:Box is a must-listen for any die-hard Bowie fan. It may not be his most groundbreaking work, but it's a charming peek into the early days of one of music's greatest icons. So grab your glitter and put on your dancing shoes, because Bowie is back and better than ever.
