David Bowie's long-time producer Tony Visconti has revealed to CNN in an exclusive interview, that David Bowie will release a new album 'soon' featuring original songs.

Earlier this month, Bowie announced he would release a career-spanning greatest hit album later this year, featuring one new song 'Sue (Or in a season of crime)', but Visconti has revealed a further collection of original music will be released.

Visconti produced Bowie's latest album 'New Day', which was released without warning last year, after a decade without new music from the 67-year old star.

The Bowie retrospective exhibit, David Bowie is., opens on September 23 at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Art. Mayor Rahm Emanuel has declared that date as David Bowie Day in the city.
