About "New Killer Star"
"New Killer Star" is a song written and performed by David Bowie in 2003 for his album Reality. This was the first single from the album.
While it is uncertain what the song is really about (like other Bowie songs), the lyrics make oblique reference to life in post-9/11 New York City. However the video clip, directed by Brumby Boylston of National Television, tells a surreal story using lenticular-postcard-like images of a spaceship almost crashing into the modern American heartland. Bowie himself said of the song: "I'm not a political commentator, but I think there are times when I'm stretched to at least implicate what's happening politically in the songs that I'm writing. And there was some nod, in a very abstract way, toward the wrongs that are being made at the moment with the Middle Eastern situation. I think that song is a pretty good manifesto for the whole record."
The song title is a play on the words 'nuclear star'.
The B-side is a cover of Sigue Sigue Sputnik's "Love Missile F1-11".
