He probably won't.
Heathen then Reality was a good a way as any to bow out.
But what if he did a low key, arty album exploring his more eclectic interests?
Lou Reed's gone in the quieter arty direction here and there, so even has Iggy of late.
I have been listening to the Baal EP a bit lately.
It's got some great textures to the sound - even though it's relatively simple by Bowie standards - unusual but very interesting melodies, and is reasonably adventurous (if you could call it that) lyrically (cf The Drowned Girl).
He had already recorded Alabama Song.
The late Robert Palmer also dug up some more eclectic older songs here and there in his career (Riptide being one of the more well known ones).
Bowie could do an album made up of Brecht / Weill and other more unusual songs - sure, it wouldn't be a huge hit, but Bowie has done art for art's sake / for his own satisfaction before, just a thought that occurred to me...
