This 2021 release of the 2000 album "Toy" offers a collection of newly recorded versions of Bowie's early work, alongside three new songs. It was shelved by his then-label, EMI, and only saw official release years later.
- "Toy" was recorded in New York City in 2000 with Bowie's touring band, including guitarist Earl Slick and bassist Gail Ann Dorsey.
- The album was produced by Bowie and Mark Plati, and features a raw, live-in-the-studio sound.
- "Toy" was initially intended for release in 2001 but was delayed due to label disputes before finally being made available in 2021 as part of the "Brilliant Adventure" box set.
David Bowie was an English singer-songwriter and actor, widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. At the time of "Toy's" recording in 2000, Bowie was in his fifth decade as a recording artist, following the release of his album "hours..." and ahead of his newly recorded "Heathen" album.
