After the edgy, industrial Earthling (1997), David Bowie returned with a more organic, introspective sound on 'Hours...'. While still featuring ambient textures and programming, the album leans into a more personal, reflective tone. Highlights include the atmospheric single "Thursday's Child" featuring Holly Palmer, the restrained guitar work of Reeves Gabrels on "Something in the Air," and the Mellotron-laced ballad "Survive." 'Hours...' reveals a Bowie at ease, continuing to evolve without losing his edge.
