HUNKY DORY

Description

With "Hunky Dory," the former David Jones, now David Bowie, fully embraced his diverse ambitions, emphasizing the complexity and plurality of his style: an androgynous look, scandalous attitudes, intricate arrangements, an intense use of metaphor, and a veneration for the great icons of the fringe (Bob Dylan and Andy Warhol are clearly cited). Musically, the richness is already optimal with incredible melodies, a fireworks display of guitars by Mick Ronson ("Queen Bitch"), an omnipresence of piano ("Oh! You Pretty Things, Life On Mars?") and polished strings ("Quicksand"). Less metallic than the previous album "The Man Who Sold the World," "Hunky Dory" dares to incorporate a decadent cabaret atmosphere, baroque folk, and sophisticated pop. Is it the most beautiful kaleidoscope by its creator?
