David Bowie has recorded a brand new original song of use in the opening credits for forthcoming crime thriller The Last Panthers.

This marks the first time Bowie has contributed original music for use in film or television in 20 years and comes after Bowie and the series’ director Johan Renck met during the show’s filming. Of Bowie’s contribution to the series, Renck says: “I was looking for one of the icons of my youth to write the music for the title sequence, but was presented with a God. His first response was precise, engaged and curious. The piece of music he laid before us embodied every aspect of our characters and the series itself - dark, brooding, beautiful and sentimental (in the best possible incarnation of this word). All along, the man inspired and intrigued me and as the process passed, I was overwhelmed with his generosity. I still can't fathom what actually happened...” The series will air in the UK this autumn giving you a chance to hear the track.
