David Bowie. “Nuts” è il penultimo estratto da “Is It Any Wonder?”

Quest’oggi è stato condiviso per l’ascolto in streaming Nuts, quinto e penultimo estratto dall’EP Is It Any Wonder, che conterrà appunto sei registrazioni inedite di David Bowie. Il sesto e ultimo brano verrà annunciato e condiviso la settimana prossima (14 febbraio) e concluderà questa iniziativa cominciata l’8 gennaio scorso (nell’anniversario di nascita del compianto cantautore britannico). La foto che accompagna l’uscita di quest’ultimo brano è di Albert Watson ed è stata scattata a New York nel 1996.

Brano semi-strumentale, Nuts è stato scritto da Bowie insieme a Reeves Gabrels e Mark Plati. Fu registrato durante le sessioni conclusive dell’album Earthling nel novembre 1996, le stesse in cui fu registrata anche The Last Thing You Should Do. Entrambe furono registrate come bonus track ma proprio all’ultimo minuto Bowie scambiò I Can’t Read (diffusa lo scorso gennaio come secondo estratto) con The Last Thing You Should Do. Nuts è invece rimasta inedita fino ad oggi.
