The LP was released on Wednesday (April 2) and followed weeks of Jones sharing snippets of various tracks on her Instagram account, such as ‘Standing alone’, ‘Moving on’, and ‘Through all the time’, alongside video clips from her childhood.

Spanning 12 songs and 47 minutes, the album incorporates elements of pop, electronic and indie rock, with 24-year-old Jones’ – born Alexandria Zahra Jones – vocals at the forefront.

The artwork, presumably created by Jones who is also a visual artist, depicts two faces attached to the same head, attempting to split away from each other. Meanwhile, ‘Xandri’, the album’s title, comes from the Greek name meaning “defender of mankind”.

Bowie passed away on January 10, 2016 after privately battling with cancer for 18 months. The artist had released his 26th and final studio album, ‘Blackstar’, on his 69th birthday just two days prior (January 8).

His work is set to feature in London’s brand new ‘Live Odyssey’ immersive experience.

Set to kick off in May 2025 in Camden, ‘Live Odyssey’ has been previously described as “a celebration of the rich tapestry of British music, offering a unique experience for music lovers of all ages” through “a groundbreaking tribute to the sounds that shaped Britain”.

The attraction – which combines a show, an exhibition museum and live experience together – will take attendees through six decades of music via a two-and-a-half-hour adventure that captures the evolution of British music, from the early anthems of the ’60s and ’70s to the Britpop explosion of the ’90s and today’s cutting-edge hits.

Fans will move through six different rooms, each immersing guests in a different musical era and recreating the sights, sounds, and cultural moments that define each decade. Visit here to purchase tickets and for more information.

In other Bowie news, a special edition of his ‘Ready, Set, Go!’ live album is set to be released for this year’s Record Story Day.
