It was released as the lead single from his twenty-fifth and final studio album of the same name on 19 November 2015. "★" peaked at number 61 on the UK Singles Chart, number 70 on the French Singles Chart and number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100. "★" received both the Grammy Award for Best Rock Song and the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards.[2] At 9:57, it is the longest song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 charts.[3] Production and composition"★" is an art rock[4] and jazztronica[4] song. Also described as an "avant jazz sci-fi torch song," it features a "drum and bass rhythm, [a] two-note tonal melody with hints of Gregorian chant, [and] shifting time signatures."[5] In the bluesy slow middle section, the song shifts from an acid house-ish groove to a languid, R&B-flavored interlude.[6] The song was originally over eleven minutes long, but after learning that iTunes would not post singles over ten minutes in length, Bowie and Visconti edited it down to 9:57, making it Bowie's second-longest track behind "Station to Station". Bowie did not want to confuse listeners by releasing different single and album versions.[7] Release"★" was released on 19 November 2015, as a digital download[8] and in 2017 as a 12" single in Japan only. In addition to its release on the album of the same name, the track is used as the opening music for the television series The Last Panthers.[9] Music videoThe music video for "★" is a surreal ten-minute short film directed by Johan Renck (the director of The Last Panthers, the show for which the song was composed). It depicts a woman with a tail, played by Elisa Lasowski,[10] discovering a dead astronaut and taking his jewel-encrusted skull to an ancient, otherworldly town. The astronaut's bones float toward a solar eclipse, while a circle of women perform a ritual with the skull in the town's centre.[12] The film was shot in September 2015 in a studio in Brooklyn.[11] The filmmaking process was highly collaborative, with Bowie making many suggestions and sending Renck sketches of ideas he wanted incorporated. While both men agreed to leave the video open to interpretation (Renck initially refused to confirm or deny that the astronaut in the video was Major Tom), Renck has offered several details regarding its meaning. Renck later said on a BBC documentary "to me, it was 100% Major Tom."[12] It was Bowie who requested that the woman have a tail, his only explanation being "it's kind of sexual". Renck has speculated that Bowie may have been contemplating his own mortality and relevance to history while developing the video, but said that the crucified scarecrows were not intended as a messianic symbol. Renck has also stated that Bowie portrays three distinct characters in the video: the introverted, tormented, blind "Button Eyes"; the "flamboyant trickster" in the song's middle section; and the "priest guy" holding the book embossed with the "★" symbol.[13] Saxophonist Donny McCaslin said that Bowie had told him the song was about ISIL, although an official spokesperson for Bowie denied that the song was inspired in any way by the Middle East situation.[14][15] The choreography, notably that of the three dancers featured in an attic sequence, was drawn from other media, including Max Fleischer's Popeye the Sailor cartoons. "[Bowie] sent me this old Popeye clip on YouTube and said, 'Look at these guys.' When a character is not active, when they’re inactive in these cartoons, they’re sort of created by these two or three frames that are loops so it looks like they’re just standing there, wobbling. It’s typical in those days of animation and stop-motion, you would do that to create life in something that was inactive. So we wanted to see if we could do something like this in the form of dance, we had to do that."[16] The female dancer in the attic sequence also performs a signature movement from the "Fashion" music video. The official video for Blackstar won the Best Art Direction award at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards.[17] Critical receptionRyan Dombal of Pitchfork praised the song, labeling it as "Best New Track". Dombal also described the track as "wonderfully odd and expansive" and noted that it is "closer to the cocaine-fueled fantasias of 1976's Station to Station than almost anything he's [Bowie] done since".[18] Pitchfork Media named "★" the 11th best music video of 2015.[19] Simon Critchley commented on Bowie's connection to Elvis Presley, referring to the lyrics of Presley's song "Black Star" as a clue.[20][21] In the annual Village Voice{{'}}s Pazz & Jop mass critics poll of the year's best in music in 2016, "★" was tied at number 9, with Rihanna's "Work".[22] Track listing{{Track listing| headline = Digital download | title1 = ★ | length1 = 9:57 }}
